Lanzarote Relocation

Now it is time to ensure our new year’s resolutions are still being stuck to, and get back on track to get your new year kick started and be feeling fabulous and refreshed again!!

If you decide to detox, a massage will be a great way to get maximum results, and with regular sessions you can look forward to a stronger immune system, better circulation and less stress.  Massage of any sort helps perk up the circulation, sending the blood pumping around the body with new vigor, with it go the oxygen and fuel we need to function in the form of nutrients, which are turned into energy once they reach our muscles.  Our organs benefit too, improved blood circulation encourages them to do their best work, particularly those concerned with the elimination of toxins.

Tips for detoxing

• Start each morning with half a lemon squeezed into hot water.
• Drink a minimum 1.5 litres of water by sipping throughout the day.
• Avoid coffee, strong tea and alcohol.
• You should find the urge to comfort-eat is reduced, try to focus on good quality proteins, whole grains, and lots of vegetables and fruits.
• Try to avoid cow’s milk products and wheat products.
• Make up a salad dressing with olive oil mixed with balsamic wine vinegar and keep to hand in the fridge, add mustard, herbs or garlic according to taste.
• Avoid butter and margarine – use olive oil for cooking.
• Choose healthy cooking methods – steaming, baking and stir-frying with minimal oil.
• Detox your environment too by clearing away any clutter.  A calming environment will help you to recharge your energy levels.

Good luck!
