OK…people…you’ve indulged in your Christmas feast and now you are headed directly for New Year’s Eve when parties are the talk of the town with fireworks to follow.

If you drink too much alcohol or chow down on all the rich foods at these parties; then the fireworks could be happening in your brain and body on New Year’s Day in addition to lighting up the night sky at the magical hour of midnight!

How do you prevent that blaze of pain rampaging through your head? How do you get rid of the horrendous pain when you elect not to prevent it and imbibe a dozen cocktails as you toast to the New Year? We have healthy ideas for both scenarios…

First let’s talk about what to do when you guzzle or gulp down too much alcohol and your head is pounding to the drum that is a thousand decibels too loud for comfort? You can support the liver with some Chinese Herbs or take the following which you can get at any Whole Foods Market or your local health food store or Food Co-op.

You prepare a Fruit Smoothie with the following ingredients: apple juice, orange juice, banana, honey, blueberries or dark cherries, and if you have it in your pantry…a healthy tablespoon of Barley Protein Powder from SunWarrior. You might need to make two of these Smoothies to rehydrate your body along with sipping purified water with a splash of freshly-juiced organic lemon juice.

Then take a Vitamin B Complex, double the usual dosage to metabolize all the alcohol and carbs; extra vitamin C to flush the toxins from your system; double up on your multiple vitamin and mineral supplement or find a good mineral supplement that has all the major and trace minerals; and lower the lights while taking frequent naps until you feel like yourself again…

You are also going to avail yourself of a CieAura Holographic Chip for Pain Relief and a few drops of Peppermint Oil placed on the forehead, the temples, and anywhere there is aching pain or discomfort. This will help to alleviate the pain and return your body to normal faster than doing nothing but waiting it out…

CieAura Holographic Chips for Pain Relief

You will be able to find Peppermint Essential Oil at AuraCacia online or at your local apothecary or health food stores. If you cannot locate it quickly enough for New Year’s Eve; then find some organic Peppermint Tea and brew it in advance, because you won’t exactly feel like standing over the stove to boil water for tea when your head feels like a hammer is pounding every square inch inside your cranial cavity!

If you are smart and you choose to prevent a hang-over as the way to bring in the New Year; then you should go to your parties with alternative beverages and healthy snacks. Arm yourself by taking what you prefer to eat and drink, instead of waiting to see what the host provides and surrendering to settle for something that will cause pain and unpleasantness the next day. If you are hosting a party, please provide healthy alternatives that will allow your guests to leave with their full faculties intact!

You can take Reed’s Ginger Ale, Brain Toniq, China Cola, and other natural fizzy drinks to your party. You can even take sparkling cider or organic juice to your shindig to ensure that you have a healthy beverage with which to toast 2011 in style!

You can carry a nice little tote bag or picnic basket filled with healthy organic snacks and foods to satisfy your appetite while attending your favorite parties. Crisp whole grain crackers with an artisan cheese, date bars from Love Street Living Foods, or spicy nuts will take you swiftly through the entire night and on into morning with clarity of mind and healthy body to greet the New Year!
