PRESS RELEASE: The health benefits of Dry January

The health benefits to a dry January.
If you’re feeling sluggish, bloated, and exhausted after the Christmas break, January is the best month to take 30 days off booze. Grey Area Drinking coach Sarah Rusbatch says if you feel physically and mentally drained at the end of the year, taking a month off alcohol in January will bring huge benefits. “You’re not only going to feel more energised, clear-headed and confident, but also have less anxiety,” she says. “Just by allowing your body to heal in January is bringing focus to your wellbeing which will have an impact on how you approach your entire year.” Health benefits we can expect from a month off alcohol include improved sleeping patterns, increased cognitive function, our stomach lining normalises, energy increases, kidney health improves, liver function recovers and blood pressure reduces. Sarah supports thousands of Australians each year to change their drinking habits.
