A woman who gave up alcohol for 30 days has unveiled the major changes being teetotal had on her face in before and after photographs.<\/p>\n

In a short YouTube video, Paige shared a snap of her face on her first day of being sober<\/a> and another on day 30 to highlight how being alcohol<\/a>-free can change your face.<\/p>\n

However, she wasn’t overly pleased with her results.<\/p>\n

“Expected a bigger face change,” she admitted in the caption, adding that besides a hair cut and her ‘hormonal acne switching sides’ she’d struggled to see big differences.<\/p>\n

However, her followers were quick to highlight the key changes they’d noticed between the two photographs.<\/p>\n

“Wow. I see a big difference. Your skin is clearer and glowing,” one person noted, while a second said she looked ‘better’ now she’d given up alcohol-free.<\/p>\n

Someone else said: “Your skin is glowing and you look so much more awake now, I can see the difference.”<\/p>\n

Several YouTube users said Paige’s eyes appeared ‘brighter’ and others simply applauded her sober stint, telling her they were ‘proud’ of her efforts.<\/p>\n

The comparison clip was part of a wider series she shared on her YouTube channel, Yoga With Paige<\/a>, where she has documented her experience with going sober<\/a> and how it had prompted her unpack her relationship with alcohol.<\/p>\n

In a video shared during her first week of being alcohol-free<\/a>, Paige said she’d learned about her ’emotions and mental health’, adding: “Most people say the first week is the hardest and I definitely agree.<\/p>\n

“It took a lot of self discipline to not drink.”<\/p>\n

Giving up alcohol<\/a> can have a hugely positive impact on your body even in the first 30 days.<\/p>\n

Aside from the obvious advantages like saving money and being hangover-free, you may also see improvements to your sleep, leading to an increase in productivity and overall wellbeing.<\/p>\n

According to<\/a> Priory Group, your liver, stomach and skin will also hugely benefit from you being sober<\/a> and you may even lose weight, as your overall calorie intake will have reduced drastically if you’re usually a regular drinker.<\/p>\n

Long-term benefits of quitting drinking<\/a> include a reduction in blood pressure, improvement in digestive system, a better memory and less fatigue.<\/p>\n

This can vary from person to person, depending on their alcohol intake and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Someone who usually drinks minimal amounts and gives up alcohol for a month may feel a sense of achievement or control of their health, while someone who is usually a heavy drinker may notice bigger changes, including psychological effects and increased mental clarity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman who gave up alcohol for 30 days has unveiled the major changes being teetotal had on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[235,59,102,50,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-520947","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-alcohol","9":"tag-gb","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
