I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and had time to let loose and have fun with loved ones.
Before we deal with the resolutions let’s deal with the immediate problem many of us deal with during this time of year – your hangover.
Follow these easy steps and you’ll be back in the gym and lifting in no time!
If you were smart, you
🍔 Ate a high protein, salted dinner before endless toasting
🍔 Drank plenty of fluids during the day
🍔 Took amino acids prior to drinking alcohol
🍔 Had a glass of water after each drink
🍔 Slowly sipped liquor or dry wine, not cocktails
If you weren’t so smart, and hangover has preoccupied the first hours of your new year entirely, here are some tips:
🍼 Drink some pedialyte. I like the non flavored baby version. Less calories than gatorade, no sugar and restores your fluid balance
🍼 Eat some fresh fruit instead of speeding to the doc we machine. Research has shown that your blood sugar levels drop post drinking, so instead of bringing them up and crashing with sugar in coffee or muffins – have complex carbs to raise em slowly. Fruit has fiber! Don’t go for orange juice – eat an orange!
🍼 Speaking of coffee – it’s a diuretic. Amino acids are your best friend again. Muscles would appreciate this too.
🍼 Go get some fresh air! Staying in bed watching Netflix may sound tempting but .. I’d get the blood pumping n body moving!
While drinking responsibly can help us loosen up at parties, overconsumption of alcohol can lead to negative side effects.
