After the month without tobacco, the month with mustache and the month without a car, here is the month without alcohol. To recover from the excesses of the holidays, an English association encourages alcohol deprivation throughout the month of January.
No more beer with friends after work. Supported by the English public authorities, the “Dry January” is all the rage across the Channel. This challenge is to not drink a drop of alcohol in January. There are nearly three million Britons who have taken the bet and, until then, held firm. The origin of “Dry January” can be attributed to a woman: Emily Robinson.
In 2011, she registered for her first half-marathon in February. She does not like running so, to facilitate training, she decides to give up alcohol during the month of January. Nothing more.
The strength of the movement is explained by the variety of reasons for adopting it. Some people see it as a period of detox, others to slow down or to regain a physical condition. The disease is not central, far from it.
Indisputable benefits
The 30-day cure helps your body find balance. A series of physical, physiological and psychological improvements are praised by the organizers of the movement: more restful sleep, weight loss, better skin … Indisputable effects on a medical level.
A reality surfed by the pioneers of “Dry January”: “ If we could find a new health supplement or discover a super food that would have all of these benefits, we would be millionaires ”, fun those responsible for the movement. ” Rather, we aim to offer you help, advice and encouragement to enable you to enjoy these benefits for free ”.
They don’t forget to remember that a one-month alcohol diet is good, but constant monitoring throughout the year is better.
