7 Supplements To Help You Recover From Holiday Indulgences & More!

Holidays are upon us and you know what that means. Loads of pumpkin pies, cranberry desserts, gingerbread puddings, and a lot of turkey among many other delicacies.

Luckily, you have the metabolism of a horse and you know that even after eating all of that delicious stuff, you are going to get back in shape in probably no time at all. But what about the people who indulge a little too much but don't have it in them to stay the same? Their diet goes for a toss and their workout regime also suffers. Needless to say, they are more prone to gaining a lot more fat and stubborn weight around their waist. They become a victim of their own eating habits within a very short time span. Well, there are a few vitamins and supplements that can be beneficial for such individuals.

But First, Let's Have a Look at A Few Outcomes That Holiday Indulgence May Cause

• Your meal timings getting out of hand 
• Sleep cycle going awry for the longest time
• Workout routine taking a back seat 
• Spending a disproportionate amount of time on social media 
• Overspending on gifts, accessories, household items, and the like
• Drinking way too much champagne or wine
• Enjoying fried foods a little too much (bad for cholesterol)
• Opening doors to hypertension/blood pressure, increased sugar levels

These outcomes are very common among people who take holidays a little too lightly and give in to their spontaneous cravings. However, it is very easy to recover from these issues before things get out of hand. 

7 Supplements That You Should Shop For As Soon As the Holidays Begin

1. B Vitamins

This is going to be the first thing that comes to your mind because these vitamins may potentially help in metabolizing excess alcohol. Good quality vitamin B supplements may be helpful in headaches. B-complex is known for its immunity support, potential usefulness in mood swings, and healthy skin and nails.

2. Magnesium

Magnesium is a very critical mineral and doctors recommend at least 80 to 240 mg for children, 300 to 360 mg for women, and around 420 mg for men. There are various magnesium-enriched bottled hydrogen water brands today in the market that make it easier for you to supplement with this mineral. This combination may assist you with daily physical stress and healthy blood sugar levels. Adequate magnesium coupled with hydrogen molecules and water may also keep you hydrated which may lead to better muscle functioning. It is also critical for strength and staying active throughout the day.

3. N-Acetylcysteine

A lot of people have not heard about this supplement but it is highly beneficial for the liver. It is an antioxidant linked to body detoxification. NAC as it is popularly known, is a precursor to glutathione which is a naturally found detoxification molecule in the human body. Again, in the context of alcohol and junk food consumption during the holiday season, it may support your immunity. 

4. Castor Oil

Have you ever used castor oil right after your shower? Try it daily for at least 3 months and you will notice how magical it can be. Castor oil potentially forms a protective layer on your skin. Therefore, using it after you shower is a good idea. Do not rub your face with a towel but just pat it dry gently. Now take a few drops of organic castor oil and rub it into the skin of your face in an upward motion. This may potentially help you with breakouts, blemishes, redness, inflammation, and fine lines as a result of your holiday indulgences and everyday stress.

5. Herbal Tea

The best time to consume herbal tea is anytime you want. These herbs help you get rid of indigestion, bloating, inflammation, and even constipation in many cases. The right blend may contain any ingredient that you choose to put into it such as sweet basil, rose petal extract, black pepper, lemon juice, cloves, and fennel. Herbal tea is a great way to detoxify your body after you have consumed countless pounds of holiday food. It also helps you rectify your sleep cycle which may get disrupted during the festive season.

6. Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal may be helpful in trapping the toxins present in your body. If you suffer from hangover symptoms, headache, or any kind of toxic reaction due to overindulgence, this supplement may help flush out your system leaving it clean and energized. If you are allergic to proteins such as casein and gluten, activated charcoal is the supplement you can trust.

7. BCAA

BCAA stands for branched chain amino acids and these are not only for bodybuilders or gym rats. Your body can make some of the amino acids on its own but there are a few that it cannot produce. If you have been involved in extensive decorating activities or probably have undertaken some sort of repair work in your house for the holidays, BCAA may be beneficial. It is known for helping in muscle recovery and promoting muscle growth. It may also help ease some soreness in your body and reduce muscle fatigue. Individual results may vary.
