Well hello, Dry January.
New year, new you. Right?
During New Year's Eve, countless promises and resolutions were made again.
A lot of those included participating in Dry January.
31 days without beer (sort of).
Who's in?
Here are 5 things that will happen to your body if you say no to alcohol:
1. Your Brain 🧠
You can expect to see some general improvements to your day-to-day life including feeling happier, better decision-making, and you might even notice that you feel more creative.
2. Your Sleep 😎
The amount of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep you experience will get a boost, improving your overall sleeping quality, and making you feel fresh and awake in the morning.
3. Your Liver 🤘
If you give your liver a little break, even just a few weeks, you can drastically reduce something called liver ‘stiffness’, an early sign of liver disease, which can, in the most extreme of cases, develop into cirrhosis.
4. Your Heart ❤️
Your blood pressure will drop and the muscles in your blood vessels will become stronger.
5. Your Immunity 🤺
Alcohol can give your immunity system quite a kick. So your immunity will get a boost this month. Which might be pretty useful during these winter times.
So here's to an alcohol-free January!
