Breakfast detox

It seems to be coming up on detox season.  Everybody want to come in to summer with their 'bikini body' and feel comfortable hanging out half naked at the beach.

The perfect companion to a diet and exercise regime is a good detox - starting your day with a detox breakfast will have you feeling lighter and more energized as the day goes on.

As Linda Page (naturopathic doctor and PhD) says about springtime detox :

It's a way to recharge, rejuvenate, and renew, says Page. "Anybody can benefit from a cleansing. The body is coming out of what might be called hibernation. It's a way you can jump-start your body for a more active life, a healthier life."

Here are some tips and suggestions we've found for a tasty and healthy breakfast detox :

• High fibre - start your day with a lot of fibre which helps detox the blood stream by reducing blood sugars and cholesterol.  We've formulated or 'Detox' muesli base to contain the perfect of amount of fibre - oat bran and psyllium husk.
• Add some ginger - ginger helps boost metabolism so you burn more calories and it helps clear the airways if your sinuses are stuffed.
• Prunes - add some prunes to your muesli.  These dried plums are high in fibre and they help cleanse the digestive system (helping to carry out potential carcinogens).
