New Year Detox

Now that the festive season is just a memory, everyone is talking about losing those extra few inches we have gained, detoxing and starting the New Year afresh.

I like to eat my normal foods, but consume a little less; and substitute that after dinner slice of cake or chocolate with some fresh fruit or yogurt.

Green leaf salads are the best and most nutritious of summer meals, baby spinach (for it's iron content), rocket and all the many diverse types of lettuce make great side or main course staples. Don't forget to supplement with chlorella, spirulina or barley grass to help detox and alkalize your body, it will thank you with increased vitality and most importantly a decrease in those few extra pounds! Fill up on summer fruits and vegs. a little fish, and organic chicken, and you will be well on the way to a new, healthier you.


If you live in the northern hemisphere and are experiencing the chill of winter, why not make a delicious vegetable soup. Just add some chopped celery, carrot sweet potato, a can of tomatoes, garlic and a few herbs to a litre of vegetable stock, and simmer till the vegs. are soft. It will warm you as well as helping with your detox.
