Day 9: The Benefits of a Sober Month

image


Hi ,


I have always found alcohol a delicate subject. Especially as someone who has nearly a decade of sobriety in her. But hear me out.


Just as there is no such thing as bad food, alcohol is not evil. We celebrate with alcohol in life, and it is a great way to unwind. Trust me - I used alcohol to celebrate, and I used it to numb. But fo the Healthy Six, we simply look at the research, the health effects of alcohol: More than two drinks per week increases your risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke. It is also empty calories, that often leads to extra calories from processed food, cheese, and snacking.


The benefits of taking a break from alcohol are incredible - research found that Britons who experienced a Dry January drank anywhere from 22-28% less come August. So, embrace the break!
