New Year by a Naturopath
Well, like most people the seasonal festivities have left me feeling a little lethargic and heavier, made worse by recent foot surgery which made all exercise difficult. I do not normally recommend detoxification until the spring when we naturally feel our energy rising with changing seasons. For most people, the winter is a time rest and restoring adrenal energy( kidney qi).
However, I am planning to do a 10 day express detox and will support any one who would like to do this with me. This basically means an abundance of alkaline foods and elimination of all acidic foods. For me the challenge is my daily ‘ good quality coffee’ and glass of wine! I know that after 3 days I will begin to feel better and will feel fantastic after a week.
Once my foot has recovered – I look forward to the challenge of running again & building strength and stamina – but most of all I look forward to being outside with Nature again!
