| Question: | Why do I feel almost like I have a hangover the next day after being at a smoky party? |
| Answer: | Even if you' re not a smoker, a night at a smoky bar or party can easily leave you groggy from passive smoking. If you really feel terrible, though, it probably means that your body' s detoxification processes aren' t working too efficiently, so you' d do well to support your liver. Follow a sensible, wholefood diet rich in fruit and vegetables, with a measured amount of high-quality protein and grains like quinoa; and drink 1.5 litres of pure water a day. Vitamin C and other antioxidants are important for good liver detoxification - so especially after a night out, before you go to bed take a high-quality antioxidant and 1g of vitamin C. The vitamin A in the antioxidant blend is also good for your lungs. Finally, check out the herb milk thistle, which offers excellent support for your liver. |
