The Safe Way to Detox

I received this email the other day and thought it might be helpful to some of you. See what you think.

Firstly, I agree with you. I think you need to be careful about suddenly changing your diet to any extreme, or cutting out any food group altogether.

My simple guide for a detox is this:
- Drink plenty of water. Tap water is fine (although I prefer mineral water). Just make sure you get about 3 glasses a day inside you. You don't need to drown yourself to feel the benefit.

- Get some fresh air. Over the next week, make sure you stretch your legs and go for a brisk walk. You should do this EVERY day really, but if that's not for you try and make the effort over the next few days.

- Eat NORMALLY. Don't suddenly starve yourself in a bid to miraculously right the wrongs. Eat normally, eat well, but no snacking on sweets and chocolate.

- Get some early nights. A good night's sleep is really one of the best ways to help your body mend itself.

- The five portions of fruit and veg a day rule - with an amendment. As well as trying to eat five portions of fruit and veg, try and mix the colours for maximum intake of antioxidants."
[Billy here: I struggle to do this so that's why I take Juice Plus+ (see side panel) - it gives me 17 fruit and vegetables a day in an optimum mix - its easy and its great for me]

Secondly, you're right about the liver being the body's vital detoxifying organ. But problems can arise if it's not doing its job properly. So sometimes the cleanser needs a clean! One way to do this is to use a liver tonic that combines some of nature's most powerful cleansers... curcumin, dandelion and milk thistle to name but a few.
'Liver Pure' is designed to clean out your liver and help it do its job properly. If you're worried about your liver, you can have risk-free trial of it here:
