Drinking Tonight? Do this Before, During & After the Party to Prevent a Hangover

I‘m not much of a drinker, nor am I telling anyone to throw down shots, but I’m a realistic dude & I know many people drink on occasion. I myself enjoy 100% agave tequila, club soda vodka, or some fine red wine on a night out. No matter how much you have, you can still sabotage sleep, enhance a headache & ignite an inflammatory storm if you don’t eat, move or supplement right. Don’t want one next time you partay? Follow this blog!

Before the Party

Resistance Training

Something about picking heavy stuff up for 20 minutes to an hour that can really abolish the morning dew in your noggin. If you want superb clarity the next day, hit up your local gym or go to the park to crank out a heavy HIIT workout. Resistance training, or weightlifting particular, increases insulin sensitivity and supports healthy blood sugar, while bolstering up the immune system. I like to get a solid heavy-lifting workout in about 2-3 hours prior to drinking. I have tested this out myself and notice a massive difference in food cravings, blood sugar, sleep and energy the following day.

Hydration with Electrolytes

We all have heard it, “Drink a TONNN of water if you are guzzling down alcohol.” The main problem with this is, alcohol is a powerful diuretic and no matter how much water you chug, you aren’t absorbing the precious h2o. One way to combat this is drink your water with mineral-rich salt like Celtic sea salt (I like to put ⅛ - ¼ tsp per 16oz) prior, during and after the party. This along with a nutritious ionic element supplement or some coconut water (after that workout) can help you keep potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, manganese and chloride at peak levels.

Power Shake & Chlorella

Nutrient density is key to ward off any side effects from drinking. That is why I enjoy a delicious blender bottle of the Power Shake AND adding in some of Purium’s cracked chlorella which is great for binding to any rough-housers in your body (soon to be alcohol). The Power Shake is truly a miracle meal because it contains over 15 plants and herbs that support an energetic night of dancing and will give you the anti-inflammatory superhero status you deserve.

Biome Medic

Ahhh my favorite gut supplement, the Biome Medic by Purium. I take this everyday to support a healthy digestive tract and my holistic energy. Packed with prebiotics, probiotics and fulvic and humic acids, this guy is one powerhouse for any night of rounds. Give your body the superior gut health it deserves, with this core Purium product. An exclusive and proprietary formula filled with all-natural ingredients was awarded a Gold Seal by the Detox Project as a glyphosate detox solution. Biome Medic can help flush harmful toxins, support “good” bacteria and protect your microbiome from GMO damage. I would take 2-4 an hour before the sips (or chugs). (Buy 2 packs or the 4 pack to save $50+!).

Low Glycemic Diet

Drinking alcohol puts your pancreas on overdrive, releasing insulin out the waboozle to lower the blood sugar. Eating predominately healthy fats from fatty fish, grass-fed beef, coconut, avocado and all that will stagger off a morning headache. Sure, you can enjoy some potatoes and quinoa or other fiber-rich carbs prior, just go easy on it compared to nutrient-dense proteins and fats.

Omega-3s

You may already have heard of the benefits of fish oil, or omega-3s before. They are critical for an active recovery from a night at the bars. I take a solid gram minimum of fish oil about an hour prior to drinking and it works wonders on keeping me sharp the following day. Fatty cold water fish like wild caught salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring and anchovies will also do justice! Also—avoid a ton of omega-6 rich foods like chips, crackers and snacks which are soaking in soybean, sunflower and canola oils. These oils are a shit-storm for your health anyways!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Olive oil is rich in a plethora of antioxidants and fatty acids that can combat the inflammatory effects of alcohol. If I don’t eat a fatty fish meal prior (omega-3s), then I will simply take a hearty shot or 2 of a bitey organic extra virgin olive oil an hour or two prior to drinking. Definitely aim for a quality organic, single-sourced extra virgin olive oil like Bragg because the market is saturated in phony olive oils that don’t have that delish bite to it on the tongue and in the throat (they aren’t pure).

C From Nature

We deplete our antioxidants like CRAZZY when we drink, so vitamin C is critical to prevent a nasty hangover part 3. However, 90% of Vitamin C supplements on the market are CRAP. They are processed with toxic chemicals and are derived from GMO, heavily sprayed corn. Instead, get your vitamin C STRAIGHT FROM NATURE in the most bio-available forms. C from Nature by Purium is the cleanest, most effective immune booster, skin clearer and lifestyle upgrader known to man. Not hyping up BS, this works! Purium’s C From Nature is a natural, powerful combination of Indian Amalaki, Acerola, Camu Camu, Rosehips and citrus bioflavonoids that is unsurpassed by any synthetic or manufactured vitamin C product.

Magnesium

Alcohol dangerously depletes this precious mineral. To avoid feeling like a truck hit you in the morning, load up on 400-600mg of Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers which contains all 7 forms of magnesium unlike ANY on the market. Works so well for stress, recover, sleep and more. This is the most critical mineral for keeping your mind and body (AND spirit) in check. I take it daily anywho, but taking 400-800mg total prior to the party, during and after works wonders for recovery and replenishment. Use code cvcwellness to save big.

B-Vitamin Complex

B-Vitamins are terrific at keeping your energy levels ship-shape during your dance dance revolution. They are key for hundreds of reactions in your body and deplete like gangbusters when you drink that Blue Moon. Your body uses vitamin B to process alcohol, so you end up deficient in these essential nutrients the next morning, which could make you feel even more poopy. Taking an absorbable, bio-available supplement like my favorite HERE is key for your overall health regardless, but popping a pill or two prior to drinking and prior to sleep can keep you feeling like a Greek god or goddess. B legendary!

During the Party

Dancing

To further metabolize the toxic load of alcohol in your blood and brain, dance away my friend. This is the best way to keep your organs running fluently and will prevent any waste from staying stagnant in your precious, sexy body.

Before Sleep

CBD

Want to decrease inflammation, support sleep and ease anxiety? Get Purium’s premium ORGANIC full-spectrum CBD, which is a 1500mg mega-dose bottle, American grown, lab-tested for heavy metals. The peppermint tastes wonderful and is a nice breath fresher prior to hitting the sack. Get yours with a massive discount (using code cvcwellness) - $79 with my gift card ($129 Retail​​​​​​​)!!

Organic Tart Cherry Juice

Every night before I rest my eyes, I sip on 1-2 tbsp of organic tart cherry concentrate juice diluted with filtered water (in my wine glass, of course). Especially after a night of poppin’ bottles, getting this antioxidant and phytochemical powerhouse in will not only ward off a morning headache, but it will improve the quality of your sleep due to the natural source of melatonin, support joint health AND promote healthy uric acid metabolism (reduce gout buildup as we age). Organic super fruit sour/tart cherries are a core Purium product in the ULT (Purium is my go-to brand for allll my supplements and superfoods). Get tart cherry juice here in the Ultimate Lifestyle Transformation, or purchase individually with code cvcwellness. THIS IS NATURE’S MOST NUTRIENT-DENSE FOOD with an extremely high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value. Pull up at the hangover casino + Get 3 cherries in a row = Money Moves!

Morning After the Party

Walking and Light Exercise with Sunshine

Trust me, as much as you want to lounge around all day on the couch vegging out on Netflix, I highly recommend you step outside, get a 20 minute or so brisk walk in, maybe jam to some music or your favorite podcast, and bask in the warming sunshine. The sun alone will help immensely with your mood and energy, but that extra edge walk will enhance the flow of lymph throughout your body (cleansing out the metabolic waste from drinking) and enhance you recovery BIG TIME. Walk the walk and talk the talk!

BONUS: Sauna

If you have been adequately hydrating and are peeing a nice light stream, I recommend furthering the liver detoxification benefits by getting a deep sweat in. My favorite way to go about this is with a healing infrared sauna for a solid 30 minutes or so. I feel like a new man stepping out of it!
