Detoxing – the idea that you can flush your system of impurities and leave your organs squeaky clean and raring to go – is a scam. It’s a pseudo-medical concept designed to sell you things.
It's something I hear a lot at work, especially after Xmas, alongside the other crazy concept of "I've had a mad weekend, only had about 5 hours sleep over the weekend, so I will have a good nights sleep tonight to make up for it", which as we now know you can't 'bank' or 'catch-up' on lost sleep or pending sleep deprived periods.
So the questions I pose are:
- How many people do you know believe in detoxing?
- How many people have started a healthier lifestyle?
- How many of you actually get enough sleep?
- Any of you started getting more natural sleep and how do you feel?
- Have any of you cut out certain types of food?
- if so what have you cut out and how have you been affected?
- Anyone stopped drinking alcohol all together?
- Has quitting alcohol changed you?
- Caffeine, anyone quit or cut down?
- Anyone not give a stuff and lives life at 100mph regardless?
... I'm going to start up on my exercise bike again [ I also combine it with tv, a movie or a box set 
] You get a definite endorphin rush/high from exercise... its quite surprising! And also its just a nice feeling being physically fit, as opposed to huffing and puffing my way up the stairs.
