Nutritionist post- How to support your health with the silly season!

How you feeling with the silly season so far?

Christmas is the season for connection! After a challenging year, the Christmas holidays can't come quickly enough.

However with the increased alcohol, tasty food and less sleep we can surly feel it. Tired and depleted. So what can we do to support our health and reduce the affects of the silly season.

1. Ensure consumption of 2 litres of water. Adequate water will increase energy levels, support detoxification, heathy metabolism and skin health.

2. Try a multi vitamin to top up your nutrients levels, I love metagenics practitioner supplements.

3. Limit your coffee to once a day and not on an empty stomach.

4. Support detoxification of alcohol by increasing water, supplement with NAC and increase foods that support this. These include asparagus, broccoli, leafy greens, green tea and dandelion tea.

5. Don’t skip meals and aim for a complete breakfast which includes fats, protien and carbs.

6. Sufficient sleep is also necessary to support a healthy nervous system and to detox you glymphatic system.

7. The nutrients I increase at this time include magnesium, vitamin bs and zinc.
