With the holidays out of the way and 2023 putting down roots, the first month of the year is an exciting time to set new, healthier habits that will serve you well in the future. There’s something fresh and invigorating about January, and if you’re planning to take on the beginning of the year without alcohol, you can find a lot of support at your community pharmacy - after all, Dry January isn’t always easy.
The festive season is synonymous with a lot of things - cold noses, warming meals and twinkling lights. Parties, too, dominate the month of December, and before Dry January arrives, you might find yourself inundated with invitations to Christmas drinks, catch-ups and shindigs where your friends and loved ones can catch up before going your separate ways for the christmas break. These celebrations can be a little tricky to navigate if you’re trying to cut down on drinking, or cutting alcohol out entirely. If you’re planning to make 2022 your first sober christmas, here are a few tips to help you through it.
Cholesterol is important - it serves an important function for your body, helping to maintain your cell membranes and synthesising vitamins and hormones. But when you have too much of it, you’re at higher risk of heart attacks and strokes. If you’re over the age of twenty, you should have your cholesterol levels tested every five years - and your local pharmacy can help.
