11 Survival Tips For This Party Season

1 FIGHT FLU

Your new power breakfast? Sweet pumpkin. Thanks to its ridiculously high levels of beta-carotene (which is then converted into Vitamin A), as well as Vitamin C, it’s one big immunity-boosting, liver-supporting, collagen plumping powerhouse. Steam it and spread it onto gut-friendly sourdough, then top with nuts and seeds for a protein hit. Add a little maple syrup or honey to sweeten.

2 TRAIN SMARTER

The easiest way to keep up your fitness when you’re doing more bar work than barre work? HIIT. Research has shown that these workouts (which last around half a minute, with you working at maximum capacity) have the same heart-health and muscle tone benefits as longer, moderate-intensity exercise workouts, even when participants only exercised for seven minutes. Do three sessions a week in December, and you’ll be ready to gym it hard again in the new year.

3 SEEK OUT SUNSHINE

While the sun may have long departed, you still need a constant hit of Vitamin D. Why? It’s a bone strengthener— meaning there’s less chance of breaking something when you fall out of that club at 3am (bonus!)— and topped-up levels also reduce the risk of respiratory tract infections. Try Better You Dlux 3,000 Vitamin D Oral Spray (amazon.in, 6,029), while the sun’s in hibernation. Sob.
