Winter Warmers Recipe Ideas

January
is actually the worst time of year to go on a detox or a juice feast, in a European climate at least. Generally, I believe juice feasts are a brilliant idea, and a few
naturopathic techniques like enemas and liver flushes are always
helpful. But, like eating at midnight, pushing your body through an
extreme detox regime at this time of year is best only done when you
feel you really have to. And you're not so likely to get the results
you're looking for, as your body doesn't want to let go. Winter is the
time for holding on - we are being deprived of light and heat - our
bodies need to store. Much better to work with the body and wait until
after the March equinox when everything starts to come to life again.

If you want to feel really good, give your body what it needs now. Lots of fats, lots of spices, lots of warm foods and drinks.

Flax, as flax holds light - flax oils and flax crackers eg
