Christmas party!!!

It is soon Christmas and many people have started Christmas parties with work and friends. I have have done mine with very good friends last Saturday. We went to a Chinese restuarant, we usually go to a Vietnamese restuarant, where the food is superb but still I am sure with lots of additives, spices and fat that do that body does not agree with. But this year the Vietnamese restuarant was closed, so a friend organized in a Chinese restuarant. Well I have the tendency to eat more than I should at this occasions because of the taste of the food and because I rarely go out to a Chinese meal. By the end of the meal, I felt I had drunk a bottle of wine by selself (I do not drink, so I did drink a bottle of water and half by myself though, as I was very thirsty). The meal was quite salty, which I do not usually eat. But it is not until the end that we stopped the salt, as we were chatting away and eating without complaining much. I left the restuarant with a huge headaches and very very tired. In order to get rid of my headache and consequences of whatever was in that meal, I took milk thistle, probiotics and vitamin C. I am not usually allergic to anything that I know of, but my thought was that because of Christmas, they might have added some more MSG (monosodium glutamate) in their food, a lot of salt and who knows what ever they put in the food to make it more tastier. In short, especially over Christmas, be aware of food that you eat as well as the alcohol that you drink, which can de-hydrate you or cause a major physiological problem which can last up to two days after the meal. In alllergic people this can also cause an allergic reaction or an asthma attack. Otherwise enjoy your Christmas and the have a HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
