Stay Strong Think of the things you do for yourself as conducive to thriving, not just surviving. There are numerous ways to su...

This piece will discuss just a small handful of the amazing places that can be visited and activities that can be done during a stay here.

Today we ’ re taking a look at a simple survival guide for when you wake up after over-indulging, so you ’ ll know what to to get back on your feet. Preparation The most important thing you can do is prepare. The worst hangovers happen when you don ’ t just drink too much, but when your body is unprepared for what you ’ re about to do to it. Eating a solid meal before (or as) you start partying can help: carbohydrates, fat and protein all help to slow the rate at which your body absorbs alcohol, and for avoiding a hangover, slow and steady is definitely better.  Alcohol is a diuretic: this means it makes your body shed water.
