Life is short. This is a phrase that is often brought up when someone needs convincing to have a little more fun, get rid of things that make them unhappy, or go out with someone desperate. As overused as this line might be though, there is merit to recognizing the limited time we have on this earth. As such, it is always worth it to live the life we have to the fullest. And if we can, extend it to the limits of our ability.

For it isn’t for vanity that life is truly worth stretching. It is for the sake of gaining more joyous experiences before we take the next big journey. Wouldn’t you love to see your great-grandchildren learn to speak and recognize you for who you are?

Reduce Bad Habits

There are plenty of terrible habits that we have which results in rapid aging. Smoking tobacco products is one such habit, which causes plenty of damage to the body and faster cellular death. And as any scientist might tell you, no two factors can make you older faster.

Increasing Good Habits

There is a reason why people assert that life is too short. This is because a lot of people seem addicted to things that make them miserable. This is just no way to live. As such, start acquiring good habits and increase the ones you already have now.

Start laughing more. Start enjoying more. Take good care of your health and take good care of those you love. Few things on this planet make a long life more worthy of living than the warmth you feel with family.

Eat Goji Berries

For thousands of years, foods that are said to extend life have been mentioned. Legends have sprung around them and in the age where myth was taken seriously, people ate them constantly. As one of these foods of legend, Gogi Berries has had a significant claim to the reputation of giving immortality. But, though we know that this is not quite true today, consuming these berries still merit some attention.

To start with, Goji Berries are among the most potent sources of antioxidants in the world. Antioxidants help tremendously in keeping you from aging too fast by keeping your cells healthy and by fighting free radicals that cause you to age faster. On top of that, they also contain a wealthy amount of essential nutrients that extend life by simply keeping sickness at bay.

Practically everybody who has ever tried alcoholic beverage has had occasion where they regretted their action the following morning. While moderate drinking provides a somewhat rested feeling when you wake up, a night of mindless inebriation and debauchery mostly results in a dry mouth and throat, fatigued muscles, a throbbing headache, and basically a body that absolutely hates you.

And this is not that surprising considering what you put it through the night before. But don’t worry though, as there are a few simple things you can do so that you won’t have to suffer in that condition for too long.

But before we get to that though, let us first determine what a hangover is. Putting aside all of the descriptions of the delightful sensations you get while in that state as already stated above, the reason why they occur is mostly caused by dehydration. Try to remember the events of last night. Do you recall urinating like there was no tomorrow? You do? Good.

That was how you lost most of the water inside your body as contrary to what your drunken mind had thought at the time, drinking beer, tequila and vodka does not qualify as hydration. Having those beverages actually makes you lose more electrolytes than you take in and electrolytes are what constitute for a healthier hydrated state rather than the liquid forms that you often see.

So now that we have that out of the way, let us proceed to actually getting rid of the damn thing. By the way, a lot of these are products that you either have to eat or drink. So if you are a heavy drinker and don’t want to suffer the after effects, you might want to stack them up.

Bananas

While doing said peeing, not only have you expelled a lot of bodily fluids, you have also ejected a lot of your body’s nutrients. One of them is potassium, which is quite essential in making sure you don’t feel like the walking dead. Eating bananas will replenish your lost potassium to get it on a level where you will feel energized again. Bananas with  organic cacao are very good match. So munch on as much of it as you can.

Energy drink

You know those commercials where they claim that their sports drink replenishes your body’s electrolytes faster than water? Well fortunately for you, this is true. So chugging a bottle when having a hangover is one of the better things you can do.

Honey + Lemon + Hot water = Relief

If you want a more refined solution, you could try for a cup of this tonic which functions much like tea. Apart from hydrating you, the ingredients will compete with alcohol for metabolism, slowing it down and reducing your discomfort.

Fruit juice

If either of those two refreshments is not very appealing to you, then you could also go for fruit juice, especially the freshly squeezed kind. Not only does it provide you with the necessary liquids, it also gives you plenty of natural sugar to get your energy spiking.

Water

If you have none of those things or for some reason your refreshment of choice boils down to just water and anything with alcohol in it, guzzling glasses of water will do the job, provided you drink enough. It might make you feel bloated and you might pee more often than you would care to, but it is necessary to get you back to healthy hydrated levels.

Soup

If you want a compromise between food and drink, then perhaps a nice, hot soup will do the trick. It can provide you with proper nutrients and liquid to get rid of your aches and pains, plus the energy to get out of bed or couch or floor.
