Sobriety can make you feel and look good! Consuming addictive substances can make a horrific impact on a person’s health. Look at the effect it has on our overall physical appearance.
Eyes
In the early stages of sobriety from drugs, the eyes are bloodshot/yellow and you may have dark circle. Stop drinking and drugging, once the eyes are soft and clear.
Keep your eyes healthy with vitamins: C, E, A and zinc. Think “orange”: oranges, carrots and apricots.
Clear, sober eyes with snowy whites are gorgeous!
Hair
In sobriety you can have a balanced diet. Heavy drinkers and drug users rarely do. It is inspiring to see confidence restored when people stop drinking/using and have hair regrowth. For gorgeous locks, eat your leafy greens, drink lots of water and eat foods rich in zinc.
* Eat food rich in zinc: citrus fruits, avocado, and okra
Skin
It’s not nice to abuse your liver. Drug and Alcohol use is tough on the organ that filters the blood as it circulates through the body. Also, it depletes us from nutrition and electrolytes. Stealing good hydration from the body. Maladies caused: broken blood vessels, rosacea, red spots, wrinkles, puffiness, and dryness.
Sobriety restores beauty
Seek sobriety, get your glow back, start with the inside (and the obvious). Stop using drugs. What a difference it can make!
When actively using, we tend to forget the simple rules of good health and beauty. When someone has quit drinking or using, and their hair has grown back, their eyes are bright, their skin is glowing, and they feel good.
A person who has consistent nutrition, joyful movement and evidence-based practices in recovery; will start to feel better in as little as one week. With abstinence, miracles happen, inside and outside.
Much of what I have described about drug and alcohol use is not rocket science, but it is health science. When actively using, we forget the simple rules of good health and beauty.
