Nutritionist Shares 8-Year Alcohol-Free Journey, Reveals Surprising Health Benefits and Social Challenges
Lisbon, Portugal - In a recent viral video, nutritionist SaúlNutri shared his personal decision to abstain from alcohol for the past eight years, shedding light on the societal pressures surrounding drinking and the profound health benefits of sobriety. SaúlNutri, a former nutritionist for RC Deportivo de la Coruña, stated that his choice was not driven by a problem with alcohol, but rather a realization that it did not align with the healthy lifestyle he desired, particularly as an athlete. "It weighed more heavily on me, the hours of coming down, than the moments of joy," SaúlNutri explained in his video, reflecting on his past experiences with alcohol. He emphasized that alcohol is "the enemy of performance" for athletes, a clear stance from his professional background. One of the most striking aspects of his journey, according to SaúlNutri, was the reaction of others. "Drinking is normal, not doing it is strange," he observed, highlighting the social pressure to consume alcohol. However, he asserted that this pressure "can be overcome." The nutritionist detailed a range of benefits he has gained since quitting, including "more energy, more focus, better recovery," and improved sleep quality, which he illustrated with data from a smartwatch showing "excellent recovery." Beyond these visible improvements, he stressed the unseen advantages: "better health, better rest, less inflammation, more years of quality ahead." SaúlNutri concluded by encouraging his audience to consider their own relationship with alcohol. "I'm not telling you not to have a beer, just as I'm not telling you not to have a cheat day," he clarified. "I'm just telling you that repeated decisions create your future, and this was one of the best decisions I made." He urged viewers to try a six-month challenge to experience the changes firsthand. Comments on the video reflected a mix of support and personal anecdotes, with one user stating, "The worst thing is social pressure, they laugh because I ask for sparkling water," and another sharing, "I've been almost 18 years [without alcohol]."
