January has arrived and if you’re like the GB Team, you’ll be fully aware of everyone who is participating in this year’s Dry January. It’s one of the biggest health campaigns that been put in place to encourage people to abstain from alcohol for a WHOLE entire month. This years has an astonishing 3.1 million people opting in to complete it - but if you’re like us you’re 100% not one of those! We took a look at some of the reasons why going dry in January can be a good move… Cut Down on Booze For those who like a daily tipple, this is one of the best reasons to sign up for the campaign. Studies have been carried out on those who have been ‘dry’ for the month and results have shown that they’ve reduced their intake of alcohol throughout the whole year as they realise that they don’t always need to drink. Lose Weight Yes, you might hear us sobbing on the insides but it’s true that alcohol is fattening - and contains the same amount of calories as pure fat. And when we drink, it just sits in the liver. So by avoiding it all together, you’ll be sure to see an impact come January 31st - that is providing you don’t go and compensate with food!! Better Night’s Sleep Although many people do claim having a drink before beds helps them get a good sleep, studies prove that this is wrong - and in fact can cause people to have a disruptive sleep. By cutting out the booze - you’ll have a health sleep routine, and find yourself dozing off much easier and quicker. Save Money Whether you’re buying your booze in the supermarket or you’re in the local pub, alcohol is expensive so what better way to start January by saving some money and losing a couple of pounds?
