January’s topic of the month is Alcohol.
December is a busy and hectic time for a lot of us. It is also hopefully a time of fun and cheer, and opportunity to make memories with the people closest to us. Many people do over indulge at this time of year, and then look to slow down / get healthier in the New Year.
Dry January is popular for many people wanting to kick-start their new year in a healthy way, and it’s a chance to detox after a lively Christmas period. There is some information in the below link to the benefits of this.
