We all know that drinking alcohol is not good but very few people know why. Yet, understand this and then you're more likely to make healtheir choices during this festive season. Ever wondered why you crave cakes, crisps and bread when you're hangover? It's because booze upsets the blood glucose levels, causing you to crave sugary, startchy foods. And while alcohol is packed full of calories the body can't use it for anything. So, it goes straight to your hips!
No, we're not saying you should forgo booze all together this Christmas but this might just help you to choose wisely next time you consider having your fifth glass of mulled wine. (ooh, I think that's a record...I've discussed mulled wine and it's only November 13th!)
