Tips for a Healthier Thanksgiving
How Not to Die of a Hangover
The title is dramatic, but it’s true. A hangover can feel deadly, especially when you have work the next day. When you drink alcohol, it absorbs into your liver and transforms into a toxin called acetaldehyde. Our bodies can detoxify acetaldehyde pretty well, but too much alcohol can overwhelm us. This leads to oxidative stress and inflammation, causing that awful hangover feeling.
Here’s how to manage it:
Control your drinking. Avoid getting blackout drunk. Be mindful of how much you’re consuming, especially with mixed drinks. And that means no jungle juice (I’m watching you).
Use key supplements. DHM, or dihydromyricetin has been shown to stop your hangover. This potent supplement fights inflammation and is high in antioxidants. I swear by it every time after I drink. Try the ultimate hangover cure now for 20% off. Use code: biohackwithjack.
Try Z-Biotics There is one probiotic that can help you metabolize alcohol better, leading to deeper sleep, a protected liver and no hangover. It’s called Z Biotic and I highly recommend you try it before drinking.
How Not to Feel Bloated
Thanksgiving often means a wide range of foods, and your stomach might struggle to handle it all. Travel and stress can leave our bodies low on digestive enzymes and probiotics, so it's a good idea to boost your levels for better nutrient absorption.
Here’s how to prepare:
Take digestive enzymes. This helps break down all of the proteins, starches and fats, so you don’t feel sluggish afterward.
Consider probiotics. Look for probiotics that can strengthen the gut barrier like P3OM.
Chew your food 30-40 times and try some digestive herbs like ginger.
How to Avoid the Turkey Coma
The dreaded turkey coma happens to many of us. It’s not just the tryptophan; it’s often a blood sugar crash from all the sweets and carbs. Here are some hacks to stay awake:
Do a resistance training workout beforehand. This helps your body manage blood sugar better.
Take a 15-minute walk after eating. This can lower blood sugar spikes by 33%.
Use berberine. This supplement helps stabilize blood sugar and supports liver function. Use code: Koolhealth10 for 10% off!
Drink apple cider vinegar. It can aid in digestion and blood sugar management.
Consider a cold plunge. It can improve insulin sensitivity.
Stay relaxed. Stress can worsen the blood sugar crash.
How to Be More Present at Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is about family and gratitude. However, it’s easy to get stuck in your head. Here are ways to stay present:
Do 10 minutes of yoga before arriving.
Try a 5-minute deep breathing session.
Write in a gratitude journal for 5 minutes.
Sit outside and look at the sky for 5 minutes.
Say thank you more often. Appreciate every experience.
How to Manage Anxiety at the Party
Thanksgiving can be stressful. Here’s how to deal with anxiety:
Take GABA before the party.
Consider magnesium for relaxation. Code: Koolhealth10
Engage in 5 minutes of breathwork.
Try CBD if you’re comfortable.
Visualize everything going well. Imagine a relaxed atmosphere.
Other Ways to Feel Like You Earned Your Meal
Do a family workout. Get everyone involved.
Connect with your family. Feel grateful for your meal and pray for those who are less fortunate.
Go around a circle and say one thing you love about everyone.
You can follow this guide step by step or pick the points that resonate with you.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
With Love, Jack.
