One thing nearly everyone complains of after
Christmas is over-indulgence. Even Santa has way too much cookies and milk.
While it’s okay to indulge yourself once in a while; moderation in everything
you push down your throat is the keyword. Avoid the hangover, indigestion,
heartburn and sunburn by having a game-plan before the time.

In the following few paragraphs are some guidelines
and tips for staying healthy and happy this Christmas.
·
It’s Ok to say no when you have had
enough.
·
Have a sensible breakfast. As we all
know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. This festive period never
ever skip breakfast.
·
Don’t forget about your exercise
routine. At the very least take a walk- brisk walk for effectiveness.
·
Set a limit on your alcohol consumptions
beforehand. Space your alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic drinks, water will
come in handy. But your Anatomist’s order is to stay away from booze this
period.
·
Avoid eating high fat and high sugar
foods, beware of obesity and diabetes. Because the end-result is not palatable.
·
Add fruit, vegetables and fiber to your
day. Remember an apple a day keeps ‘the anatomists’ away and invites the Santa
that comes bearing gifts.
·
Drinks lots of water. Read more here.
·
Avoid sugar rich, sugar-based, fizzy
drinks.
·
Be sun-smart especially if you are in
the southern hemisphere or vacating in sub-Saharan Africa.

To avoid over-indulgence have a game-plan ready
before the party begins. Learn what constitutes a standard drink. Just as a
reminder, that’s 285ml of beer (one glass full strength beer), 100ml of wine
(one small glass of wine), 30ml of spirits (one measure of spirits). Don’t
forget to check out how many standard drinks are in your beverage of choice.
AbsolutelyNO binge drinking. Keep in
mind that the recommendation for men and women is to consume no more than two
standard drinks per day. Remember: it is possible to have fun without the
hangover.
Bottom line: Becoming drunk impairs all your body
functions, including reasoning, reaction time, and ability to be co-ordinated.
It affects the healthy working of your brain, heart, liver and kidneys. And can
even damage it on the long run. So remember, even if you do not feel drunk yet,
you are negatively affecting your health and your ability already.
