Get a detox delivery direct to your home

Tuesday, 21 February 2012 3:49 PM

If you want to give your digestive system a break from the stresses and strains of modern convenience food, a nutritionally balanced meal delivery plan can help. MyDetoxDiet has a new range of vegan, low fat, low salt juices, soups, salads and hot meals, created by a Michelin starred chef.

MyDetoxDiet was founded by nutritionist Ilona Wesle and beauty spa expert Susanne Koellner, who wanted to come up with a meal plan as an at-home alternative to expensive detox holidays. Meals include good carbohydrates as well as cooked fruits and vegetables, which cause less irritation to the digestive system than raw fruits and vegetables.

Sugary drinks, caffeine, alcohol and junk food all day their toll on the digestive system. As well as weight loss, the plan can help reduce bloating and bad skin, as well as improving your energy levels. A four-day soup and juice plan costs £106.

“Think of your body, your muscles and tissue, as a sponge that is absorbing endless toxins that never really get flushed out,” the team says. “Without help the sponge just gets dirtier and dirtier, filling up with rubbish and losing its effectiveness. The body is the same. So just like the sponge - it needs to be cleaned.”
