Food
Ditching alcohol can have numerous positive effects on your overall health and well-being, and one area where it can make a significant impact is weight loss.
1. Get rid of the unnecessary calories. Remember not to give in to the urge of replacing alcohol with sodas and other calorie-laden aerated drinks because that will defeat the purpose of ditching alcohol.
2. Do away with sugar intake. Consuming too many sugars causes inflammation in your body, leading to weight gain and making it more difficult for you to lose weight.
3. Improve your quality of sleep. Alcohol hampers sleep quality and disrupts your sleep cycle, that is, the number of hours you normally sleep everyday.
4. Reduce food cravings. Alcohol tends to lower blood sugar, which again makes you crave for junk foods that are full of carbs.
5. Better your ability to digest food. Our digestive system works extra hard to remove alcohol from our system. Without these toxins, our digestive system can focus on easier functions, which may lead to weight loss.
