How to eat and drink during the holidays, so you do not repent

On the eve of a great holiday Layfhaker shares his advice on how and what to eat and drink in order to feel good the next day.

How to eat without harm to health

The main mistake lies in the fact that we are trying to keep the place for the most delicious and do not eat in front of a festive feast. This is bad for several reasons.

Firstly, when you intentionally starve before the holiday, your brain particularly strongly think about food, giving you so permission to eat whatever you want, as soon find yourself at the table. Bring themselves to a state in which you are not aware of what and how much eat - not the best idea.

Skipping meals can lead to irritability and depression. Also for the body are harmful jumps in blood sugar, because such leaps you will eat more.

In the morning before the holiday, you can eat foods that contain protein and fat, such as eggs and fruit, a slice of bread with cheese or yogurt. For lunch suitable light vegetable soup, but the meat is better to leave until the evening. So you begin to feast without feeling wild hunger.

Enjoy the festive table vegetables and meat or fish, choose one sweet dish and eat as much as fits in your palm. You should not imagine anything to prohibit, otherwise you will feel miserable. Much better - control the amount of food eaten, not to overeat and be satisfied.

How to drink with minimal harm to health

Co-founder and CEO Greg Drinkwel Huang (Greg Huang) compiled a list of tips on Quora.

1. Avoid drinks with sugar. Drink juice and sugar syrup, energy or cola hard on the stomach.
Try mixing alcohol with water and freshly squeezed juice without added sugar.

2. The more transparent the better. Vodka, gin or light beer is much easier for the body - and lower in calories - than whiskey, bourbon or red wine.

3. Do not mix different types of alcoholic beverages. It is harmful for the stomach and affect your health. Mix alcohol - it's always a bad idea. Select one drink to their taste and stay on it.

4. Take breaks. Select the period (a week or more), when you do not drink at all. You will become more sensitive to alcohol, will have less to spend, you will be just as fun as usual. And your liver will thank you.

5. Eat properly the next day. If you still have caught hangoverMorning eat well: eggs and freshly squeezed juice. Fatty foods will not improve the state of health and not "vsosot" alcohol - your body has already done so, and heavy food will only add discomfort. The best thing you can do for yourself - there is something that will fill the need for vitamins and minerals.

6. Eat before you drink. A snack or a full meal reception to the first glass will give your body time to process the alcohol and reduce the risk of nausea, headache and stomach pain. For example, starchy and dairy envelop the stomach and prepare it for alcohol.

7. Eat while you drink. When we drink alcohol, we often eat it, they would not have sober: chips or pizza questionable. A great way to change that - to prepare healthy snacks in advance.

8. Drink water before, during and after the drink, since alcohol is a diuretic, and also causes dehydration. A glass of water for each serving of alcohol will help you to make up the lost fluid.

9. Drink less alcohol. Not everyone likes to hear it, but it is better to drink less and to be able to say "no."

10. Take your vitamins. Alcohol reduces the amount of nutrients in the body, and do not forget to replenish their supply in a timely manner.
