Taking a break is undoubtedly good for your mental health \u2013 particularly if you need to cure some post-Xmas-overindulgence blues. The most restful holidays are ones which include a little time for yourself, some exercise, a chance to meet new people, and some good sleep, all in a warm climate (hello, beach getaway!).<\/p>\n

Beach holidays can cure even the worst hangovers<\/p><\/div>\n
2. Holidays give you a chance to unwind and de-stress<\/strong><\/h3>\nXmas had you rushing from one festivity to the next? Getting away gives you a chance to escape the business (and busy-ness) of day-to-day life and just relax. Even a short break is as great for your health \u2013 say, Monday to Wednesday after a big weekend \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
3. Sightseeing is exercise (but fun)<\/strong><\/h3>\nExercise is one of the best ways to detox your body. Climb a hill to revel in an amazing view or go for a jog along the beach. Getting your circulation pumping will help your lymphatic system flush out all those toxins you\u2019ve so recently ingested.<\/p>\n
4. Morning yoga sessions on the beach<\/strong><\/h3>\nYoga is the perfect combination of gentle exercise and relaxation \u2013 fantastic for de-stressing after over-indulging. So what could be better than doing yoga while on holiday? Add a beach location and you\u2019ve got hangover-cure paradise.<\/p>\n

Yoga in paradise? Yes please!<\/p><\/div>\n
5. All the massage<\/strong><\/h3>\nAdd one of the oldest healing traditions in the world to your getaway and you\u2019re looking at some powerful therapy. Massage away the high blood pressure, sore muscles and insomnia caused by too much partying. You\u2019ll feel relaxed, calm and ready to enjoy the rest of your trip.<\/p>\n
6. Time to focus on your health<\/strong><\/h3>\nHolidays are a great time to reflect on your life overall (and not just your partying habits). Use them to spend time on activities you enjoy, people you love, and restoring yourself with some healthy eating and exercise. You need to get back into tip-top shape if you\u2019re going to do it all again (and despite what we say the morning after, we usually do \ud83d\ude09).<\/p>\n
7. Get more sleep<\/strong><\/h3>\nSleep fixes everything. No, really. Research has found that our brains and bodies likely use our shuteye time to flush out nasty toxins. So your cheeky holiday naps are basically trips to the gym.<\/p>\n

Goodniiiiiight!<\/p><\/div>\n
8. You\u2019ll be more productive (eventually)<\/strong><\/h3>\nNot on your holiday, of course \u2013 that\u2019s your chill time. But tackling work with a hangover is not<\/strong> <\/em>fun and it\u2019s fair to say you won\u2019t exactly be at the top of your game. However, research has found that we\u2019re more productive at work after we\u2019ve had a holiday, which is great for your business\u2019s bottom line. So instead of dragging yourself to work after a big night, do everyone (including your company) a favour and take a holiday instead.<\/p>\n9. All the food<\/strong><\/h3>\nThey say variety is the spice of life \u2013 and that\u2019s especially true when talking about a healthy diet. Travelling allows you to try all sorts of foods you might not normally eat at home. Focus on protein to help repair any damage done from indulging in too much fat, sugar and alcohol during the party season.<\/p>\n
10. Make memories<\/strong><\/h3>\nEven the best hangover-curing holidays have to end eventually. But great memories and fun photos (read: envy-inducing Insta posts) can sustain you throughout the year \u2013 or at least until your next hangover \ud83c\udf78 \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n
