Chance to win

Summer is the time we celebrate with family and friends. Braais, big dinners, parties, spicy and greasy foods are all part of the fun.

However, this puts stress on a vital organ, our liver. The liver is the body’s “anti-pollution” organ that removes potential toxins from the blood stream, and it has to work unusually hard at such times.

The after effects of over-indulgence is that we could end up feeling out of sorts, sometimes even downright terrible.

Nativa Liver Complex is a nutritional supplement that has been formulated with milk thistle and antioxidants to help the liver deal with over-indulgence and detoxification issues.

Available from pharmacies, one or two capsules can be taken after breakfast with a glass of water.

While breakfast may sound like a bad idea when we are feeling fragile, it does help the body to maintain blood sugar levels and replace vitamins and minerals.

Plus, low blood sugar can make tiredness, nausea and weakness feel worse.

Something else to do after a big night is to drink water and keep doing so all day to stay hydrated.
