The hardest part of New Year’s resolutions is that they can be difficult to maintain long-term. It’s easy to go to the gym for a few weeks, but come February, most of us fall off the wagon. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but even small steps toward cultivating healthy habits can have major benefits, and cutting back on alcohol is one step that doesn’t even require leaving the house. If you’re looking for simple ways to care for your mental and physical health in the New Year, it’s not too late to give Dry January a try. Here are some of the benefits you can expect.

Improved Heart Health

Drinking alcohol increases heart rate and blood pressure, which can weaken the heart over time. Research has also shown that when we drink, we’re more likely to consume calorie-dense, high-fat foods, which can put further stress on the heart.

Clearer Skin

As a diuretic, alcohol dilates blood vessels and causes our bodies to become dehydrated. Not drinking can help to reduce the appearance of redness and keep skin from becoming too dry. Dry skin also produces excess oil, which can lead to acne and inflammation.

Better Sleep

Alcohol disrupts REM sleep, which is necessary for learning, memory, and brain development. Taking a break from alcohol allows our bodies and brains to get the rest they need so we can enjoy increased focus and energy levels during the day.

After all the seasonal holidays and New Year’s Eve parties, what better time to take a break from alcohol than for the month of January? Dry January was first started in the UK in 2013 to help raise money for alcohol abuse awareness and treatment. The trend caught on and now lots of people around the world are making January Alcohol Free. There are tons of health benefits associated with Dry January.

Get Better Sleep

We all know that after a few drinks your sleep tends to be interrupted and not as deep. Having this type of sleep stops your body from repairing and replenishing itself. Taking a month off from drinking in January can help you feel more energized in the morning after a great night’s sleep.

Stronger Immune System

Drinking a lot of alcohol can suppress your immune system, which will make you more likely to catch colds and flu, and other sicknesses. Frequent drinking can also cause inflammation throughout the body, so taking a break can help you feel much better and less swollen.

Less Anxiety

The morning after drinking you generally feel tired, nauseous, and have some anxiety, which is all part of a hangover. Waking up sober for a month will bring you less anxiety in the evening and calmer mornings.
