Ancient wisdom describes an elixir as a magical or medicinal potion designed to cure. Solbrü has redefined a modern elixir as a liquid infusion of herbs that serves a function in the body. They have soulfully infused a blend of balancing herbs and adaptogenic mushrooms, to raise vibes and ground souls. Their Brü replaces alcoholic spirits in a sophisticated way, with its own unique flavours and novel functionality, delivering a bold authentic bite without the hangover. Drink it as a shot, sip it on the rocks; or enjoy it in an AF (alcohol-free) cocktail. Pour over a glass of nut or oat milk or mix it with orange or grapefruit juice for an extra Vitamin C punch.

Healthy Ways to Boost Your Energy
The afternoon slump often has us reaching for coffee or sugary snacks to pick us up. Here are a few healthier ways to boost your energy, naturally:
• Go Outside. Being in the sun for even 10 mins will give you a boost of vitamin D that will wake you up.
• Switch it up. Switching to another task can give your brain a break from focusing on the same thing for long, and the variety is good for your productivity and your energy.
• Have a Healthy Snack. Enjoy a hardboiled egg or raw veggies, rather than a doughnut. This will give you sustained energy without the crash associated with sugary snacks.

Dry January? Try Solbrü
The “sober curious” or “sober sometimes” movement started as a challenge for those who felt they’d partied a little too hard over New Year’s weekend. A 2016 British study of about 850 men and women who volunteered to abstain from alcohol during Dry January found that participants reported a range of benefits. For instance, 82 percent said they felt a sense of achievement. “Better sleep” was cited by 62 percent, and 49 percent said they lost some weight. They had improvements in insulin sensitivity, their blood pressure numbers improved, and their livers looked a little healthier.
