New Years Eve is one party night of the year. Many consume a lot of alcohol on this national holiday. Do we think of how we will feel the day after?

Many of us have had a hangover, but few of us think about what alcohol does to our body. There is more than a few empty calories, alcohol depletes your vital vitamins and minerals. To make things even worse, that night of pleasure makes digestion a problem, meaning you cannot easily replenish those lost nutrients.

Have you ever heard of Kombucha Tea? This is actually a food, very nutritious, tangy in its taste, and very easy on your budget. You can buy it at your health food store, or make your own.

When you drink Kombucha tea you get a big dose of B vitamins, one of the concerns after a night of partying. B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B6, and lets not forget B12. You get enzymes and a whole bunch of acids that your body needs and craves for healthy function.

Kombucha will also help you get your digestive tract back on track. It restores pH balance, helps detox as well. Soon enough you will feel right as rain. You could add Kombucha to your overall health plan to give you more energy, nutrition, and balance in your body. Bonus ” a lot of people find their weight regulates itself when they are drinking Kombucha. Score!

When you drink alcohol you also reduce your mineral content. One loss is in Magnesium. Our body needs magnesium to properly use the calcium we are told is so important in our diets. Magnesium also plays a role in many areas of the body, including our heart.

When your magnesium level is low and your digestive tract is struggling you cannot absorb the nutrients, like magnesium, that is contained in your food. Another option is to increase the magnesium level through an IV like they do in the emergency room. Thats a little drastic. Try transdermal magnesium, like a magnesium bath, gel or oil applied to your skin.

You need magnesium to complete over 300 of the enzyme functions in your body. Magnesium impacts our blood sugar, our ability to calm ourselves, sleep, and many mental health functions.

Do not let your hang over hang around any longer! Give your body what it needs to fight back and restore to its proper balance. Who knows, you may feel even better than you did before that night of partying!
