How to Avoid the Christmas Flu...

It is inevitable that at Christmas time we eat a little more than usual and start to choose things which are a little more indulgent.  It is also usual to start using the excuse of, 'Well it is Christmas', and this begins a steady decline of our nutritional status until we fall sick in the new year.

I am not suggesting we stop drinking and eating our favourite treats at this festive time, but perhaps you can add some things which will support your body through this unavoidably indulgent time.

1. Take a good quality multivitamin.

2. Boost yourself with extra vitamin C loaded foods e.g oranges, kiwi fruit.

3. Take a superfood powder such as Spirulina or a combined powder such as Amazing Grass Powder.  www.amazinggrass.com

4. Drink lots of water when you drink alcohol.  This is the only way to help your body through the ordeal of alcohol which it deals with like a poison.  A little is fine, but if you are drinking a lot then make sure you drink plenty of water or your liver will take a serious beating.

5. Sleep. Fun is fabulous but we also need to use the holiday time to rest.  Make sure you are having nice long lie ins and if you have kids, then try to get early nights instead!

Have Fun!
