So, when I was planning out posts for the week, I thought, St. Paddy's day week is perfect for our first wellness challenge. Spring is in the air, there seems to be a break in the 340530959083405 feet of snow most of the US is getting this year, let's do some exercise.
Stop. Think about this. People are gearing up for a day of drinking. A NIGHT of drinking. A day AND night of drinking. Y'all don't need an exercise challenge right now - you need hangover cures!
So, when you go out drinking - keep these things in mind:
1. WATER - try to keep up on it, but if you don't, drink 16-20 ounces before you fall asleep. It will help IMMENSELY with the dehydration that alcohol causes.
2. Eat - BEFORE - you drink. Having something in your stomach slows the absorption of alcohol.
3. Grab a cup of coffee - caffeine *can* help headaches - so if that works, keep on with it but it can also cause more dehydration or cause headaches, so it may not be for everyone.
4. Pain meds - but stick to NSAIDs and avoid Tylenol, since you've already given your liver a workout.
5. Last, but not least, though certainly the least fun....don't drink yourself stupid!
