diet & fitness



for anyone who drank for a period of years,
the effects on the body are quite damaging.

starting with the diuretic effect alcohol has,
which leaves us constantly dehydrated.
the water soluble vitamins, C & B-complex
are also seriously depleted.

it is wise to take a quality multi-vitamin &
mineral supplement. plenty of water, taken
beyond thirst is a good idea.

personal diet recommendations depend on
our condition of over or underweight upon
starting recovery.

any exercise regimen is advised, provided
you start slowly and gradually increase
intensity and duration.

walking is a good start; even if it's just
around the block at first.
if possible, join a gym and try some
resistance training.
the physical and mental benefits will
be instantly noticed.
chemical endorphins are released in
the brain, which provide a feeling of
well being.

remember, don't expect to be running
marathons or lifting hundreds of pounds.
take your time and enjoy the road or gym.
