There’s no time like after end-of-year festivities for a little detox to start the year out healthy.

Cleanse your liver

It’s essential to decongest your liver so that it can perform its vital functions which include eliminating toxins from the body. Do you suffer from migraines? Difficult digestion? Sluggishness? A few extra pounds? All these signs can be symptoms of a congested liver that needs to be cleansed!

Another significant effect of liver cleansing is that your energy levels go up! This means more strength to be active and exercise, coupled with high motivation levels. It’s the start of a virtuous circle: perfect for losing those post-Christmas pounds! Try some of my super easy and tasty liver-cleansing drinks below to get started.
