IS BOOZE F#CKING YOU UP?
I suffered for years with depressive mood swings and the doctor wanted to put me on medication. I avoided medication and started to look at my diet and what I drank, I’m talking about Alcohol.
It’s no secret that Alcohol can be a depressant but not many people want to address this inconvenient downside.
Another issue that is not often addressed is Alcohol consumed regularly can also contribute to lowering our testosterone.
Lowered testosterone has been linked to depression….. who knew.
11 years ago I stopped drinking, I am sure that cutting Alcohol out completely was a factor in my depressive moods evaporating. Unfortunately I do not have any data on my T levels at that time but I guess they where low.
I don’t want to be a kill joy but it’s a fact that if we carry on Consuming volumes of alcohol when we are 30+ it will affect us negatively.
Once I accepted that I would be better off and feel better without it, quitting was easy. I had a WHY and it was backed up with an outcome, beating depression and feeling better.
There are of course many other health benefits to going tea total weight loss, more energy, clearer thinking to name a few but I believe the psychology of taking back control has massive benefits to self confidence and self esteem.
Give it a go and in due course let me know how it impacts you.
