Welcome to my blog, and thank you for stopping by. I hope you find it informative, and if there is anything I have missed or you would like me to talk about please drop me a line of suggestion. After seeing a nutritional therapist I decided from the improvement of my own health that I would like to be there in the same way for others, therefore, I studied two degrees; one in Nutritional Therapy and another in Bioscience Nutrition so that i could be equipped to support a number of health conditions. I now work for a supplement company on a clinical team supporting practitioners and keeping upto date with all new scientific information and provide private consultations too aswel as keeping my blog going :)

New Year, New You

January Detox

women drinking waterYou may feel a little fatigued from late nights and plenty of indulgence. A lot of us will feel that a detox is what we now need to do to get back into shape, to feel refreshed and back to our lively selves. Here are a few tips to help you kick start your health kick.

Detox the liver
N-acetyl cysteine is a natural amino acid found in protein rich foods. The amino acid is really supportive to the liver by aiding detoxification of nicotine and other chemicals that may have built up during the Christmas party season.

Cleansing
Sea Plasma is a green food that is very gentle to the system. The food is nutrient dense and gently stimulates the system to eliminate toxins from your lymphatic system which can be cleansing and anti-aging.

Support digestion
vegetablesDigestive enzymes are naturally found in raw foods. It is a good idea to have foods that contain natural digestive enzymes daily to support the digestion of foods and to support the immune system. However, as well as having raw foods such as salads, taking supplements that contain natural digestive enzymes can give some additional support.

Building muscle and healing health issues caused by alcohol
Glutamine helps to encourage a good level of muscle on the body and supports healing of the digestive tract. Healing of areas such as the digestive tract can be a good idea after the festivities as alcohol can cause distress to the digestive lining by puncturing holes in it.

Helping with nausea caused by a detox
Ginger helps protect the liver and supports stomach and gastrointestinal activity which can reduce any possible spasms, encourage detoxification and reduce nausea that may be caused by the removal and breakdown of toxins.

Reducing constipation and toxic build up
Colonic Hydrotherapy aids the removal of toxic waste that may have built up within the colon over a long period of time. By having a colonic you naturally encourage the muscles to stimulate movement to push toxins out of the system. This can be a great way to reduce bloating as well as being cleansing.

Removing toxins that may have accumulated in fat cells
Deep tissue massage can help to relax the mind, reduce bloating and water retention and also stimulates the lymphatic system to remove any unwanted toxins from the body.

Make sure that after the massage you have plenty of water to reduce the risk of headaches caused by toxins being broken down.

Enjoy a healthy start to your year
