Time to Say Goodbye to hangovers!

Good news folks! Now you can party till you drop without worrying about the consequences? But before you start planning, let me break in. North Korea has claimed that they have created hangover free alcohol. Now, I am not a big fan of North Korea’s foreign policy or Kim’s hairstyle. First they were trending globally by claiming to have successfully tested a supposed hydrogen bomb. I won’t taste that alcohol any time soon. After all hangovers are not those bad. Just kidding, we all know how dreadful, painful and confusing they are. Overindulging can cause you trouble, so you better “Drink Responsibly” and enjoy the party.

Prevention

·         Don’t drink in an empty stomach. Eat carbohydrate rich food before you start.

·         Drink plain water or non-sparkling soft drinks in between drinks.

·         Grab a bottle of water before you sleep. Drink more water if you wake up in the middle of your sleep.

How to handle once hangover is a reality?

Let’s face it, hangovers are unhealthy, can cause severe health issues and takes time to wear off. There is no magic wand to completely undo it. Meanwhile these are few things that you can do.

·         It’s the time when your body needs more hydration. Start with plain water. Coconut water is equivalent to high quality sports drinks minus the artificial stuffs. Drink coconut water if you can.

·         The headache seems to make things worse. A glass of lukewarm water or green tea will help you to handle the morning rituals well. Take a shower, a real good one.

·         Eggs, Banana, Oatmeal, tomato juice, ginger ale are some of the things you can eat to start the day with.

·         If headache still persists you can have an over the counter medicine for headache.   But don’t make it a habit.

Finally have patience. This will also pass!

6 Ways to Save Money in 2016

We are raised in a planet that revolves around the Sun and we the people revolve around money. Right from the morning everybody is on their pursuit to earn money. It has become the ultimate way to meet our ends and there is no possible alternative in the near future, unless you are thinking about settling in some uninhabited, self-sustaining land. Like me, you might hate it but you can’t ignore it. Let’s talk about ways to save money in the 21^st century.

Time to get minimalist: “Things that you own, ends up owing you”. It’s time to get rid of things that you don’t really require. Replace your fuel and electricity hungry items with efficient products. Buy things that you really need, not just because your neighbor has it. Being minimalist has several benefits. Many successful people believe in getting minimalist and have embraced it as a way of life. Apart from saving money you would gain more focus and energy for important things in your life.

Commuting: Use convenient means of transport. At a time when the Odd-Even traffic policy in Delhi is making waves throughout the country, it is time to reconsider our daily commuting habits. For better environment and more personal time, use the most efficient mode of transport that suits you. There is more to life than maintaining status with a vehicle. Bullock-cart or BMW, both are still means of transport. Get rid of self-limiting stereotypical thoughts. Leave less carbon foot prints on the planet and play your role towards a sustainable planet. This image below will give you a better perspective about what I want to say.

Think Twice before investing: Be it a house, property or an insurance policy, learn in details about the terms and conditions. Many people say it is better to live in a rented home than buying a home. You might want to have the cash in the bank than paying monthly installment with added interest.

Use more coupons but avoid impulsive shopping: Online coupons are accessible than ever before. Save your money while shopping by using coupons. There are several online coupon portals that have ready to use shopping coupons. Avail the discounts and compare coupons to get the maximum discount. Stay away from buying unnecessary items just because you are getting it at a low price.

Mind what you eat: Eat healthy and consciously. Try not to get influenced by advertisers. They have mastered human psychology and know how to influence buyer’s choice. Make educated choice and eat better for great health.

Expensive Habits: “We make our choices, then our choices make us.” Habits can be changed but it needs dedication and effort. Say goodbye to expensive habits like smoking and compulsive drinking. They have irreversible health effects which might result to a huge medical bill in near future. Better health will lead to more productivity and better decisions in your life.

I remember how my happy and stress free my granny used to be. She was healthy and could smile with ease unlike us. She didn’t care about money at all! Well it’s been a decade since she has gone. She was a simple village woman full of life. I hope you too can smile and be happy like her!
