Water - Make sure you drink enough......

I have become firm freinds with my Britta Water Filter!! One of the most important things in a detox is to make sure you drink enough water the general advice is 6 cups of water (about 1 litre) a day. Here are some of my top tips.

Fill up your water filter every day and make sure you have drunk all of it by the time you go to bed. I have a 1 litre Britta Filter.

Try not to drink super freezing water. It can be far too much of a shock to the system.

Hot - or warm teas are great for the system. I grow mint in my garden. A fresh ginger mint tea is delicious and great for the digestion. Just add a few leaves of ginger mint (or whatever mint you have in your garden) to a cup of boiling water and let it infuse for a couple of minutes. I usually leave my too cool for 5 mins or after 1 minute add a littel cool water so as not to drink it too hot. The mint tea is also fabulous cold with ice.

Another favourite is ginger tea. This is another one that is great hot or cold. Shave some fresh ginger root into a cup and add boiling water. Leave to steep a few minutes and drink. Again ginger is great for the digestion. It is also wonderful at freshening your breath.


I have been trying to make sure I drink between meals and not glug all my water with my meal. This can make it harder to digest your food. At first it feels like a crazy amount of water but its good! My skin is healthier, I feel more awake and the great thing is I used to suffer quite badly from migraines but it turns out they must have been due to de-hydration - which I had been told can casue headaches. Since the detox I have not had a single migraine and I used to get one or two a month!
