Giving up alcohol in January will improve your health and lose weight, while non-alcoholic versions of wine and cocktails will help alleviate Dry January. A beverage expert talked about it health day.
The Dry January campaign has gained popularity in recent years. It involves giving up alcohol for a month. The goal is to improve your health, lose weight and save money. January was not chosen by chance: New Year’s holidays mark the peak of alcohol consumption in many countries.
But giving up alcohol doesn’t mean giving up on holidays or the taste of your favorite cocktails. For a meeting with friends, it is better to choose a bar or restaurant with a menu containing non-alcoholic wines or cocktails (non-alcoholic drinks that taste as similar as possible to regular cocktails).
On long weekends, you can try preparing fermented soft drinks: ginger beer, kombucha or tepache (made from pineapple peels). Most soft drinks are distilled and fermented the same way as alcoholic beverages, so they taste almost the same. Healthday concludes that the important thing is to choose high-quality ingredients.
