Regenerate a Healthy Liver

By Ashleigh Brunner on

You might be familiar with one of the following scenarios below: 

1. You’ve woken up for work with a ringing headache and are feeling about as average as Spain did in the World cup soccer. How did the end of financial year work drinks cascade into a shower of champagne or a steady flowing abundance of delicious beer?

It makes sense to maximise the next 30 days in terms of your own health gains; without alcohol in your body you can think clearer, move easier and are creating a far more receptive environment to nutrient absorption, assimilation, detoxing, cleansing, alkalising, everything that moves you closer to looking and feeling your best and most youthful.
