Super Bowl
Parties, Super Bowl Celebrations, Super Bowl Beer. That has been the buzz in
the salon this week. Both home and pub gatherings will begin early in the day,
and wrap up a win or defeat to fans late into the night. Bets will be placed,
pots of chili will simmer, and more beer will be consumed than gets drunk all
year long.
But what
about Monday? Headaches,
dehydration, and zero productivity will greet all fans, come Monday morning.
With a little prior knowledge and little attention to a few details, you might
just come out a winner. Are you game?
Water, of
course, is going to be one of your supporting antidotes, so try to throw down a
few slugs in between those bottles of brew. But there is more. That big pot of
chili on the stove has a few antidotes of its own in it.
- Chili peppers are powerful
anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and are loaded with immune fighting
properties
- Turmeric’s polyphenol pigmentation prohibits cellular
dysfunction and is an anti-inflammatory
- Garlic combats invaders such as
bacteria, parasites and viruses due to its presence of polysulfide
- Tomatoes with their rich
lycopene properties are also powerful antioxidants that have been known to
ward off malignancy
The biggest
problem with morning after drinking is the havoc it wreaks on our immune
system. Couple that with one of the coldest winters we have had in a long time,
you might be inviting more than a hangover to visit you.
Now its not
all bad news if you are drinking beer alone and not throwing down shots with
it; beer is loaded with barley, hops, sometimes wheat and brewers yeast, which
is loaded with amino acids. All good things. But the hangover is not a result
of the drink itself; it is primarily due to the alcohol content. Alcohol is severely
dehydrating, and that is what causes the headaches.
So, if you
make a serious effort to drink a glass of water after each beer you drink, and
a huge bowl of homemade chili with all those wonderful ingredients, you will be
amazed how much better Monday arrives after Super Bowl Sunday this year.
Oh, and
just a bonus on the chili peppers: since they speed up blood flow and stir the
release of endorphins, you will have a potent aphrodisiac ready and waiting,
should your wife or girlfriend be also.
Have a
blast, and may your team win!
