aise money for charity
Giving up alcohol could have significant benefits for controlling your menopause symptoms and for improving your overall health and well-being. The downsides of alcohol are:
- Empty calories that sabotage your weight loss plan
- Increased risk of cancer, liver disease, diabetes, pancreatitis and depression
- More injuries related to accidents
- Wrinkles and premature ageing
The advantages of reducing your alcohol intake or stopping all together:
- Feel better in the mornings
- Lose weight easier
- Reduce hot flashes and night sweats
- More effective immune system
- More money to spend on healthier treats!
Cancer Research UK are encouraging people to give up alcohol for the month of January and raise money for the charity through sponsorship or by pledging the money saved by not drinking.
The deadline for signing up for Dryathalon is 6 January but if you have missed it you can still do this for yourself. For more details see www.dryathlon.org.uk
