Top Tips for Sound Sleep
Written by Sara Southgate
1. Cut caffeine. Completely. Anyone who suffers from insomnia shouldn't be having any at all. It will keep you awake, not to mention making you more anxious. Decaf coffee still contains theobromine, a stimulating chemical, so it is still detrimental to good sleep.

Digestion takes up 50% of your body’s energy. Eating easily digestible foods will mean you get the best results from your detoxification because doing so allows the body to divert energy usually taken up with digesting complex foods to cleansing.
Why do we need to cleanse our colons? A modern industrialised lifestyle has taken its toll on our digestive and eliminative organs. Refined, processed low fibre foods, animal fats, a lack of exercise and ever increasing levels of stress all contribute.
