Spring time is detox time
Posted by Jo Harris on
A great way to get into the spring season is to do a detox. Winter comfort foods tend to be heavier and more work for the liver to digest. We often tend to eat more junk food in the colder weather as well. Our bodies and organs are pretty incredible at being able to deal with the unhealthy stuff we put in our bodies, but a little support for our bodies goes a long way. A detox can support the liver, kidneys, adrenals and lymphatic system so that our body can function in an optimally healthy way.

We touch products, we touch food, we touch other people and we touch ourselves, especially our faces. Our hands are one of the most likely places for us to come into contact with germs. In this time of the public health crisis of COVID-19, it is time to reiterate the importance of washing hands and how to wash your hands properly.
