Detox Off!

As an inveterate dieter, I keep reading about detox.  The concept of giving your body a rest before returning to the merry-go-round of alcohol, gluten, red meat and wine.  By drinking fruit smoothies according to Carol Vorderman you can recharge your life, others suggest that following Beyonce and living off cayenne pepper/lemon juice and hope might help.

And, I'm sure starving yourself does help with weight loss.  However to my logic, filling your car once a year with high octane fuel and then popping in the cheapest at the pump for 364 days isn't going to make your car happier.  So perhaps rather than trying to fix the damage of 51 weeks in a week, we should look at making tweaks to our lives on a day to day basis. 

Nothing radical but the following things are pretty easy to fit into your life:

1. One cup of green tea per day - lots of antioxidents and look at the Chinese they seem to live for ages.
2. Water, Water, Water - all the super models claim to drink litres so add a glass occasionally,
3. Exercise - I loath exercise but know that getting off a station earlier makes me feel pretty good.

I'll let you know how it goes and if (by some miracle) I end up looking like Cindy Crawford!
