What Happens to Your Body When You Quit Drinking For a Month.

Did you know that "Dry January" is a thing? It is! After the holidays quite a few people take a step back from overindulgence and stop drinking for a month. It's actually a very healthy trend that has a positive impact on your health. A study was done on "normal drinkers" and here is what scientists found:

Participants lost an average of 3.5 pounds, making them less likely to develop diabetes.
Lowered cholesterol levels
Slept better
Better concentration
The amount of fat in their livers lowered by an average of 15%. This is important because a fatty liver can lead to liver disease.
Six months later, those who followed through with the one month study drank significantly less than they did before the study.

Short term and long term, it does a body good. Unfortunately, of the 850 people who started the study only about two-thirds of them made it through without drinking for a month!
