You're one week into Sober October! 👏🍂

That's an incredible effort and by now you may be noticing some changes...

✅ No hangovers
✅ More energy
✅ Brighter skin

And of course, feeling great about helping to raise funds for Alcohol Change UK! 💜

These changes can help motivate us to keep going but it's important to remember people will experience these benefits at different times, or maybe not at all. Remember by taking on a dry month, you're doing something great for your health, whether you see changes or not!

We'll be sharing more tips, info and advice this month to keep you on track.

NEW BLOG: Do We Need Fish to Get Enough Omega-3? Considerations for Plant-Based Diets 🐟🌱

Omega-3 is often linked to oily fish, but is fish actually essential to meet your needs on a plant-based diet? 🤔

📊 Long-chain omega-3s (EPA and DHA) are mainly found in oily fish and marine algae, while plant foods provide ALA, a type the body can convert into EPA and DHA, though how much conversion happens varies. Algae-derived oils are also emerging as a bioavailable, sustainable source of DHA and EPA in their own right.

📊 Around 20-30% of people in the UK now regularly buy plant-based drinks, and countries including the UK, Australia, Canada, Sweden and Norway have added them to their official food-based dietary guidelines. The key differentiator between products often comes down to one thing: fortification.
