CHRISTMAS: A SURVIVAL GUIDE By Kate Whiting
Indigestion Problem: Overdone it on the turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes, chocolate log, cheese and those few mince pies you nibbled on? If you're feeling bloated or have any discomfort in your chest or stomach, it's most likely due to indigestion. What to do: Indigestion is caused by acid reflux, when the acid in your stomach escapes into your digestive system. The best way to reduce symptoms is by taking over-the-counter antacids like Maalox,

which neutralise the acid. Eating slowly will also help. If you have indigestion frequently, you should see your doctor as it might be due to a more serious health problem.
Funky feet Problem: Brand new stilettos and a tipsy night could have your feet in agony. Blisters, swollen toes and even a sprained ankle could be yours for the taking, so take some precautions and learn how to dance the night away safely - ideally in flats. What to do: If high heels are a must, banish the pain when you get home by using an ice pack of ice cubes wrapped in a towel, to reduce swelling and pain. Try elevating your feet by putting a pillow under them (even while you sleep) to help reduce inflammation. If you're still sore the next day, indulge in a soothing foot spa.
Dry skin Problem: If make-up is a must and you've been wearing more than normal to all the seasonal parties, you might find that your skin feels tight, dry and stretched. It could also be the weather - the cold air outside and central heating inside play havoc with the body's natural oils. Sometimes it can even cause little white patches of dead skin around the nose and chin. What to do: Drink water - and herbal teas - to help keep the body rehydrated. Coffee and black tea tend to dry out the skin, so keep those to a minimum. Wash with warm - not hot - water when you bathe, as hot water extracts moisture from the skin. Always wash off any make-up at night and use a good moisturiser. Apply when the skin is still damp to maximise your skin's moisture potential.
