Detox January – The best juices out there..

Well if you are feeling anything like us after Christmas, you may feel more like a stuffed Christmas turkey and those party dresses that you fitted into at the beginning of December are a little bit tighter than they originally looked. So we thought we would take a look at the best detox juices out there.. at first we started to look at Gwyneth Palthrow’s detox diet but after day one decided that we would probably not make it onto day two so instead took a look at some of the best recipes for detox juices.  (However for those interested we have listed the Gwyneth diet plan for those with sheer determination):

First things first, you need to know the benefits of the fruit and vegetables so we have picked the ones that work best with a juice or as part of a detox diet plan.

• Cucumbers and celery are natural diuretics
• Beets are great for liver cleansing 
• Lemons, ginger and apples aid in cleansing the entire body.
• Cranberries are good for cleansing the bladder.
