Long-term drinking affects your liver, heart, brain, and blood pressure. A full health screening helps you understand where your body stands and what needs support.

Alcohol depletes vitamins like B1, B12, magnesium, and folate. Rebuild with fresh Pacific greens, root crops, fish, and vitamin-rich supplements if needed.

Your liver and kidneys need water to flush out years of toxic buildup. Sip coconut water, lemon-infused water, or herbal teas throughout the day.

💪 𝟒. 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲—𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲
Start with slow walks or stretches. Exercise strengthens your heart, rebuilds lost muscle, and lifts your mood—especially during alcohol withdrawal.

🧘 𝟓. 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞
Don’t do this alone. Whether it’s a friend, church group, or counselor—talking heals. So does forgiveness, faith, and mental stillness.
