You overdid it with alcohol and food - five tips for a quick recovery

If you had a little too much with your drink last night, and the weight of the holiday table is weighing you down, don't panic - you're not the first, and you're not the last.

Here are a few tips to help your body get back to normal more easily:

First – water. Lots of water. Alcohol and salty foods dehydrate, and water is the fastest way to "reset" the body. Mineral water is fine, but don't overdo it.

Second – light foodForget another serving of baked goods "for recovery." Soup, broth, yogurt, bananas or apples are better allies than fatty and heavy foods.

Third – a little movementYou don't need a marathon, but a light walk in the fresh air helps digestion and wakes up the body.

Fourth – coffee in moderationOne may help, but three or four will only further upset and irritate the stomach and heart.

Fifth – patienceThere is no miracle pill that can erase last night's decisions. The body needs several hours, sometimes even a whole day, to get back in order.

And finally, the most important piece of advice: don't treat a hangover with another glass of alcohol. It may sound tempting, but it only postpones the problem until later.

The New Year holidays are long, there will still be opportunities for celebration and for smarter decisions.
