5 REASONS TO... DRINK LESS ALCOHOL IN THE NEW YEAR
1. Less stress and anxiety: If you suffer from these conditions alcohol can make them worse because it stimulates the anxiety centres in the brain.
2. More energy: If you can’t sleep and you suffer from anxiety due to alcohol, your energy levels will plummet. You’ll feel tired all the time.
3. Better sleep: Alcohol affects the quality of our sleep and we spend less time in deep sleep. Deep sleep helps restore the body.
4. Healthier skin: Alcohol can make your skin dry and dull-looking. After a few days of not drinking you should start to see a difference.
5. Weight loss: A lot of people don’t realise just how calorific alcoholic drinks are. If you reduce the number of drinks per day you should see some weight dropping off.
