Alcohol and hydration after exercise and Christmas parties!

I came across a study where they measured the effect on low intake of beer such as 660ml after exercise, which many amateur people do after a race to celebrate their achievements. And according to this study, the amount mentioned above is ok to drink without delaying the hydration status of the person. In fact the component of electrolytes apart from the sodium is similar to many of the electrolytes drink that you would get. However if you regularly do that when exercise, it can take a toll on the recovery of the body and therefore not recommended.
Now considering that it is near Christmas and many already are going to Christmas parties I would suggest to at least drinking some water between your drinks so that the body does recover better.
If you exercise after drinking or before drinking, make sure that you do drink plenty of water before and after.
The fact with beers and alcohol in general is that they increase the urine elimination which it means you get more dehydrated.
If you are one of the people where the liver does not detoxifying well, you also end up with more toxins in your body than others.
The eggs and toast for the next day actually helps to eliminate the alcohol or break it down more easily. However if you have a big night out, my suggestion is to drink water afterwards and the next day have plenty of vegetables of different colours a good healthy meals and water to hydrate again.
The other reminder for whom have not read my MSG blog before is that if you are hypersensitive to it, remember to either ask the Chinese restaurant to reduce the soya sauce or ask for no sauce at all. If you cannot avoid it, drink water in between. However with that you might drink too much water and cause also a bit of damage to the cell which gets too much potassium in and less sodium in the cell and more outside the cell (too much more, which it means retaining water and cause problems as well. So balance or avoid Chinese Restaurant that uses too much MSG.
So moderation for everything!
If you are also thinking of doing a detox after Christmas, make sure to support your liver or you might end up damping the toxins in your body! If the liver is not supported or you are a slow detoxifier than all the toxins are left around the body which can lead to joints problems or skin rushes.
• Extra B vitamins would support the break down of alcohol and the detox pathway.
• Vitamin C supports the detox and the oxidation from all the extra stress on the liver that is put over Christmas and zinc as well as selenium to support your anti-oxidants enzymes.
• Milk thistle, artichokes and dandelion roots support the liver and the regeneration of the liver cell rest, also the foods such as radicchio, rosemary, rockets and chicory,which are all bitter salads and herbs support your liver detox pathway.
• Good protein is also needed for that detox, so either fish, lean meat and or beans and lentils for vegan and vegetarian.
• Eggs as I mentioned above are full of good nutrients, they just had a bad reputation about cholesterol, however most cholesterol is made by the liver and the excess sugar from other alcohol or foods is converted into fat and is that fat which than become the bad cholesterol.
