It´s Detox time!
Detox! This is one of the most appropriate word to start a new year! After all the excesses of Christmas week and New Year – in which we are sure that life is too short and it is better to eat everything, after all diet always starts tomorrow – it’s time to face reality: 2015 has arrived and it’s time to detoxify the body.
One of the most common New Year’s resolution is focusing on healthy food. The Detox juices are a practical and fast alternative to cleanse the body, but there are other alternatives in Lisbon which can be useful for those who want to embark on this journey into the world of healthy eating.
