Simple Tips And Biohacks For Navigating The Holiday Season

In this special episode, Angela shares some empowering tips designed to help you navigate the Christmas period effectively – how to have fun but still remain on track, health-wise. People always want to maximise their fun but refrain from undoing the good work they’ve done throughout the year, and in this episode, Angela tells you exactly how to do it.

Key Takeaways

  • You will feel a lot better if you stick to a twelve-hour overnight fast, regardless of how much you eat during the day.
  • High intensity exercise and resistance training have been shown to help activate a transport protein called Glute 4, which helps to move glucose into muscle tissue without producing insulin.
  • If you do overindulge in alcohol then do take care if engaging in exercise. It severely limits your ability to burn calories and fat, because your liver prioritises the alcohol first. Have some electrolytes and watch the caffeine levels.
  • Vitamin C is incredibly important, especially if you’ve been drinking alcohol, which causes a rapid consumption of Vit C in the body. You can take up to about 3 grams per day split into three doses.
