A Guide To Surviving The Holidays- With Feeling Tired / Sick

Do you want to feel better this Christmas and New Years season? Do you want to avoid illness, tiredness, and hangovers?  

Researchers in Birmingham City University found five simple steps that will go a long way to minimizing weight gain and hangovers.  

Their ideas include:

1. Increase your intake of water.  Water flushes toxins from the system, keeps you hydrated, and can boost your immune system.
2. Cut out so called health drinks that contain sugar.
3. Keep exercising.  Exercise helps elevate your mood, increases bone and muscle health, and eliminates toxins from you system.
4. Eat foods that are rich in potassium, magnesium, iron, and zinc.
5. Make sure you're eating a balanced diet.  Include carbohydrates, proteins and fats, as well a foods high in vitamins and antioxidants.  

Researchers said, "What we wanted to do was give people a few basic tips that could help them feel a bit fresher over the Christmas period."
