As for detoxing, well whoever dreamed up that campaign deserves a hefty slap.\n\nFirstly it pays to know that a group of over 300 young UK scientists investigated the evidence behind claims made for detox products, and found the word &#8220;detox&#8221; has no meaning outside of the clinical treatment of drug addiction and poisoning. Meaning mince pies, Christmas drink and food don\u2019t poison your system. Yes they are bad for us (but we knew that already didn\u2019t we?) but none of us need a special regime to detoxify ourselves come January 1st.\n\nSecondly why all the guilt every time we dare to enjoy ourselves? In this economic climate don&#8217;t we deserve every joy we can grab. So save yourself the cash and instead of buying all those detox treatments, simply detoxify your cupboards come 2<sup>nd<\/sup> January. In our house out goes the Quality Street as a food group, down the drain goes the Bailey\u2019s and in the bin goes everything with the word pie on it. It works for us and makes us feel saintly in the health stakes. Plus it gives me some spare cash to go out and buy something new in the sales.\n\nWhich is why until then I plan to eat, drink and probably eat some more. How about you &#8211; do you succumb to Christmas eating guilt or just eat drink and be merry? Let me know.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every year, as we all know the sales come earlier and earlier and so too it seems do all the articles about dieting and detoxing. \u201cEaten too many mince pies?\u201d scream the headlines. \u201cGained the Christmas half a stone?\u201d shout the others.
