For those who chose to imbibe in St. Patty's Day festivities last night and are feeling a bit green, but not in a beneficial manner, you may need something to help you along today. For all that know me, you know I advocate the intake of dark chocolate on a daily basis for a proactive approach to any potential ailments. My dark cocoa advice applies to those who indulge in too much of the drinking of spirits. Drink a bit of chocolate milk before bed or first thing upon waking to assist your body with symptoms associated with a hangover. My favorite concoction consists of simmered Vanilla Almond Milk with 70 or 85% Green and Black's Dark Chocolate and a tablespoon of raw cocoa powder. This homemade beverage is delicious, nutritious and soothing.
If you are looking for some other quick fixes to that not so great day after feeling, try an old fashioned folk remedy of cutting a lemon in half and rubbing each half under each one of your armpits. This process aids your body in ridding toxins. I recommend recycling the lemons by putting them down the garbage disposal for a fresh lemony smell, instead of squeezing them in your water! Another folk remedy is drinking filtered water with a couple of teaspoons of lime juice and a little sugar. Overall, hangovers are caused by too many toxins, not enough sleep and dehydration. So, drink water, detox and rest this weekend!
Here's to a healthy, happy weekend!
