Health Update: Cheers] Let's have another vitamin

Those planning to over-indulge during the festive season might try vitamin supplements to alleviate after-effects. B- complex vitamins, taken before or after a binge, might be useful, since vitamin B is depleted by alcohol. Evening primrose capsules can slow down the effects of alcohol and replace lost nutrients. Vitamin C is also depleted by alcohol and a supplement can help detoxify the system both before and after drinking.

Alcohol should be interspersed with sips of mineral water or fresh orange juice to cut down dehydration and a sugary drink afterwards will help to rebalance blood-sugar levels.
