Here are our top tips for detoxing like a pro.
- Green juice – you’ve heard all about it time and time again so, it’s time to finally implement it on a daily basis. Here’s our favourite recipe for the ultimate, detoxing, start-your-day-off-healthier juice. .
1 cucumber
1 apple
1 cup of pineapple
Large knob of ginger
1 lemon
3 celery stalks
Handful of kale
- TeGreen capsules, one capsule of these equates to seven cups of green tea (and of course, all the benefits that come along with it). All natural, cruelty-free and caffeine-free (cheers to less anxiety this year). Yes, please. These capsules are our go-to for clearer skin, flatter tummies, extra energy and a little weight-loss. From R260 for a bottle of 30 capsules. Details: beauty@gmail.com
- Join a gym, go for a run, anything to get the blood pumping. We all hate the thought of exercise but the benefits are so plentiful (think reduced anxiety and increased endorphins, weight-loss and heart health) that we can no longer avoid taking out our old trainers and dusting them off. Our fave places to burn off the steam are.
- Virgin Active – think numerous classes, world-class facilities and top trainers.
- Barre Body- these workouts are great for cardio and toning (tighter bums and smaller waists. yes, please!). It’s also a women-only studio (no more stressing over sweat patches in awkward places). Shop FF09 Rivonia Village Shopping Center, Rivonia. Details: barrebody.co.za .
- Smiths Boxing Gym – get ready to sweat! This gym has trained up a few professional boxers, too. Cedar road, Cedar Square, Sandton. Details: smithsgym.co.za
- Dry January … Yup, cut the alcohol. Benefits like improved sleep, clear skin, weight-loss, a detoxed liver and a stronger immune system can be expected.
- Make sure you get enough sleep in!
