Detox a great way to put a Spring in your step

IT’S that time of year again; time to detox after all the overindulgence of the festive season. It’s time to improve your energy levels, reduce bloating and weight gain, and see your skin glow again. Get ready for a simple detox, a gentle clean up job! Remember, never do a detox if you’re unwell or feeling tired as your body needs energy to throw off the toxins.

Apart from food we accumulate toxins from cigarettes, cosmetic products, household cleaners, pollutants from the air around us, medication, and we may even absorb toxins from the containers that our food and water is stored in. So there can be a lot of cleaning up to be done.

To start, clear out your cupboards, use up all your leftovers. Go shopping for only fresh and wholesome food. Remember that any food that you don’t prepare yourself will probably have sugar, salt, additives or preservatives in it and won’t be as fresh as something that you prepared from scratch.

Avoid processed foods, coffee, tea, sugar, fizzy drinks, alcohol, chocolate, sweets, crisps, chips, biscuits, cakes, white bread, pasta, and rice. Reduce red meat, dairy, potatoes, and starchy vegetables.

Include a variety of fish, fruit, vegetables, lentils, pulses, nuts, a variety of seeds, good quality oils, herbal teas and coffee substitutes, carrot juice, beetroot juice and plenty of water.

Take Flor–Essence Cleansing Herbal Tea Blend. I think you know by now that this is my favourite remedy for an overall cleanse. I love it. I don’t mean the taste, but the effect. I take it this time of year every year. I feel fantastic and my skin is always glowing after taking it. You may feel a little bit tired in the beginning but after that the energy comes back.

What I love about the remedy is that it has eight herbs which work together to gently cleanse and support the body. It flushes toxic residue from the kidneys, liver, lungs, colon, and the bloodstream, rejuvenates the body, and strengthens the immune system. Simply take 50ml at night time in a mug of hot water before bed. The bottle will last you ten days. You can repeat as often as you need.

A detox is a great way to put a Spring in your step!
