I ditched alcohol for 30 days — and my Oura Ring 5 showed one surprising change
I quit drinking alcohol, then tracked metrics on my Oura Ring 5, and I'm surprised by one change.
After abstaining from alcohol for 30 days, the Oura Ring 5 revealed a surprising change in the user's stress resilience. The Oura Stress Resilience feature tracks the ability to withstand and recover from physiological stress, focusing on recovery, sleep, and various activities that may cause stress. The user experienced an exceptional resilience score, the highest possible, when completely alcohol-free.
However, when alcohol was reintroduced, the resilience score dropped quickly, leading to poorer sleep quality, reduced exceptional status, and increased signs of strain in the body. The Oura Ring advises taking a diaphragmatic breathing routine to help manage the declining scores. Overall, the user felt more motivated, calm, and balanced during the alcohol-free period, and believes that abstaining from alcohol provides better physical and mental health.
