- A little aperitif is good for you – it will relax and stimulate your digestive enzymes in preparation for food.
- When eating in social situations – make sure that you simply chew your food – digestion begins in your mouth – remember your stomach does not have teeth!!
- Remember seasonal food is healthy – enjoy – turkey, vegetables, dried fruit, nuts, fish are all full of essential nutrients.
- Savour all those seasonal warming spices – cinnamon, cloves and ginger – good for digestion and will lift your spirit.
- A digestive enzyme supplement available from all health food shops can be taken with food to relieve symptoms of bloating and discomfort.
- Peppermints can be sucked, taken as tea or as oil to aid digestion.
- Espresso coffee and good quality chocolate can be enjoyed at the end of a meal and will be much more efficiently metabolised.
- Avoid the morning after groggy head by rehydrating with a glass of mineral water before bed. Supplement Milk Thistle and Vitamin B complex to support the liver during heavy drinking periods. Foods to enjoy which support liver function include artichoke, beetroot, liquorice root and dandelion tea.
- A glass of hot water with freshly squeezed lemon the following morning will aid recovery!!
- Make a New Years resolution to love yourself and respect your body.
