Fruit Bytes with Paula Mee – Alcohol Detox for January

We’re starting off the year with either a nutrition tip or a healthy recipe every day to get you off to the right start. Top Fruit have also put together a balanced and varied meal plan for you to help give you snack and meal suggestions. This will take you from Jan 1st to Jan 31st — all you have to do is log onto TopFruit.com and download your weekly plan for a healthy new year and a healthy new you! www.facebook.com We have a built in detox system in the body. The ‘cleansing’ organs include the digestive tract (which definitely needs a break after Christmas), the urinary system and the skin (both of which appreciate water instead of alcohol), and the most important cleansing organ — the liver. It’s amazing how rarely it complains, unlike an aching muscle, fluttering heart or a groaning gut. It is responsible for detoxifying most of the chemicals we come into contact with, such as natural food toxins, alcohol, cigarette smoke, and household chemicals. Give the liver a break this January by cutting back on the refined carbohydrates and alcohol. It will thank you later on! So too will your waistline with the average beer/lager adding 200 kcal and a bottle of wine approx. 560kcal to your festive intake!
