Detox tips!

Synthetic chemicals are everywhere – in the air, in your food, in your home. Nearly every cell in your body has the ability to break down toxins but the liver is the organ which specialises in this.

A detox programme helps to cleanse your body of accumulated toxins and your liver to work more effectively. If it is your first time, 2-3 days will make a big difference.

There are lots of detox diet programmes out there so you have plenty of choice to find one that suits you. Whichever you choose, here are some tips that will help your detox go smoothly and successfully.

Before your detox:

• The week before you start your detox, cut out processed foods, caffeine, sugar, bread, meat, alcohol and tobacco.

• Drink lots of fresh water and eat plenty of brown rice and organic fruit and vegetables.

Holland & Barrett has many natural products and food suplements that will help with detoxing.


While detoxing:
• Edible clay traps toxins and carries them out the body. Buy food-grade clay such as Montmorillonite and Bentonite, and drink plenty of water.

• Milk thistle offers excellent support for your liver, while ginger helps support the digestive system.

• Take Wild Seaweed capsules for essential mineral, vitamins and trace elements, and their cleansing and diuretic properties. (Buy 1 get 1 free at Green People while stocks last)

After your detox , don’t return to your list of naughty foods until your detox has been over for a few days and only reintroduce slowly.


• Support your system with a gentle daily detox drink like Hawthorn & Artichoke Formula (save £10 when you buy 2 at Green People while stocks last)
