Detox deliciously
 
Whether or not you've overdone it at Christmas with too much food and drink, and too many late nights as most of us have every body (and mind) benefits from a bit of R&R. Detoxing may sound like a penance but it just means simplifying everything and allowing your system to rest and rejuvenate. Here are our suggestions:
 
JUICE IT!

Drinking freshly juiced fruit and vegetables (organic if possible) is a brilliant way of refreshing your whole body. Juices are supercharged instant nourishment. Some fans claim juicing is the fountain of youth and there's no denying that it can have wellnigh miraculous results. Going to a juice bar is an expensive business and you can make your own for a fraction of the cost. A perfectly serviceable juicer will cost you between £20 and £30. Our favourite blend is 3 medium to large carrots (washed, topped and tailed), 3 apples (washed), 1 raw beetroot (washed, topped and tailed), and a good chunk of peeled fresh ginger. (The beetroot is optional.) Simply chop the fruit and veg, process and sip immediately. A detailed juice programme for optimal health - and also a 7 day weight loss plan - is given in Sarah's book The Adam & Eve Diet, co-written with naturopath Roderick Lane who looked after the late Princess Diana. Click here to order the new edition of The Adam & Eve Diet for £5.59 (plus p&p) a saving of 20%.

RESTORE YOUR BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT

If you want to explore all-round detoxing in more depth, we recommend the Detox Handbook by leading natural health practitioner Dr Jennifer Harper. This includes questionnaires so you can tailor a programme to suit you, with gentle programmes for beginners to the ultimate mind and body blitz. Dr Harper has produced an accompanying CD Seasons of the Soul with meditations to balance the body and emotions. Our , a frantically flying working single mother, was impressed. She says: "I've never meditated before and started listening a bit sceptically. But as soon as I heard the promise of 'a peaceful place to relax and unwind', I was hooked. As a working mother, having someone tell you very gently to stop and relax is wonderful. This CD transported me to some beautiful calming places - without my having to do anything except just sit (or lie) down. And it worked immediately. I do ten minutes in the morning and at night, and I know it's calming me physically and emotionally. Far from being a chore, it's a total pleasure. Lovely!
