Dry July is a fundraiser raising much needed funds for people affected by cancer. Funds raised through Dry July go towards cancer supporting organisations across Australia to help improve patient comfort, care and wellbeing.
Having a month off alcohol/reducing your alcohol intake can have a great impact on your wellbeing. Excessive drinking can cause an upset stomach, indigestion and headaches just to name a few. Drinking less means that you get a better quality sleep because alcohol interferes with the normal sleep process. Reducing your alcohol consumption will make you feel better in yourself, more alert and brighter.
Alcohol is also heavy on calories, a bottle of wine with 13% alcohol has a whopping 682 calories. So cutting down is a great way to stay in shape. Drinking less reduces the risks of alcohol related cancers, diabetes, heart disease and puts less pressure on the liver. Most importantly it is about staying healthy for longer.
So why not challenge yourself and commit July to being dry!!!
