Dry January: the month that will make you discover what mindful drinking is all about

The timing is not coincidental. In January, when the vacation hoopla and banquets with friends and family come to an end, it is our own bodies that ask us to slow down and take a break. That’s why we feel the need to put our daily stresses on standby and get away from richer foods and alcoholic beverages at least for a while.

And that’s how Dry January, the month to focus on wellness and new healthier habits, was born.

Dry January, from global phenomenon to generational trend

Maybe you have heard it from your friends or maybe you have read about it in magazines and newspapers. Forbes, the Washington Post have talked about it, and even the most famous of American TV authors, Oprah Winfrey, has made it a personal motto.

Statistics say that year after year more and more people are joining this challenge, and if in the Anglo-Saxon world there is now no need to explain what it is, the rest of the world, including Italy, is also catching up.

If during the Christmas and New Year holidays the consumption of alcoholic beverages is a ritual now difficult to eradicate, its most natural response is the search for a way to start a new year on the right foot. And it seems that this appeal is particularly felt among younger people, especially those who belong to Generation Z who, not surprisingly, market surveys have dubbed the sober curious.

Why do it: the benefits that convince you to embrace Dry January

Adhering to a challenge like this has so many benefits that it can convince people with very different needs and desires.

For example, there are those who do it to save some money after overspending during parties or those who want to relieve themselves of the weight they gained during a period when they spent more time at the table and had less opportunity for activity.

And then there are all the people who more simply at the end of one year express a desire to begin a new one in the name of personal well-being.

From good habit to lifestyle: what can change in a month

Those approaching this endeavor for the first time may have some doubts. The most optimistic generally wonder if one month is really enough to have a significant effect, while everyone else wonders: will I really be able to do this for a whole month?

First of all, it is good to specify that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. There are those who prefer to dedicate themselves body and soul (literally!) to this challenge and want to commit to a very strict resolution, choosing not to drink a single glass of wine for the entire month of January. But this does not have to be your battle as well. You could rather opt to impose a weekly or monthly limit on yourself. In short, to each his own!

In any case, the numbers speak for themselves: those who engage in this initiative, whatever its version, will see results that last over time – indeed, that become real new habits to carry with them at all times. This is precisely why people who start with Dry January are said to arrive at mindful drinking, which is a more conscious way of drinking in which they examine more closely the experience and meaning of drinking alcoholic beverages.

Our purifying and energizing herbal teas to start a new year

Un’altra cosa bella di questa sfida è avere l’opportunità di sperimentare e provare cose diverse dal solito che ci fanno uscire dalla routine. L’anno scorso una delle nostre novità è stata la tisana Remedium n. 7 – Detox. 

Volevamo aggiungere al nostro menu una ricetta per purificare l’organismo e interpretare il trend “detox” in modo assolutamente rigoroso ma originale. Abbiamo scelto le erbe officinali storicamente associate alle proprietà depurative come zenzero, fieno greco ed equiseto. Per una perfetta tabella di marcia purificante, noi ti consigliamo di berla subito di mattina, dopo il risveglio, ma è molto efficace anche durante o a fine pasto.

Se dicembre scorso è stato il mese che ti ha fatto dire “con l’anno nuovo si cambia marcia”, allora è il momento di ricaricarsi con la nostra nuovissima tisana Remedium n.8 – Reborn. Il tuo nuovo slogan per gennaio (e per tutti i mesi a seguire!) sarà ready to be reborn! e, sorso dopo sorso, la percentuale della tua batteria mentale arriverà al 100%. Questa tisana si prende cura del tuo benessere e ti rivitalizza con il giusto apporto di energia.

Quando è il momento migliore per questo tonico naturale? Per noi è sempre l’ora di assaporare un mix di erbe e frutta: lasciati tentare dalla dolcezza della mela e della lavanda che si uniscono al groove di citronella e bergamotto. Qualcosa ci dice che non ne farai più a meno: ma sappi che è in Limited Edition, quindi non lasciartela scappare!
