Summer has finally left us! It went so quickly, soon we will be approaching the Christmas season. All good things must come to an end and it’s finally time to start preparing our bodies for the colder months ahead.

Perhaps we are resetting and starting September off with a detox? This is in face a great idea to eliminate toxins, restore internal balance and boost our immunity before the temperatures drop again.

“In the summer heat, we sweat a lot, draining our bodies of water and salt. This also increases the concentration of toxins within the body which, without water to dilute and retain balance, can cause health problems.” So look at early autumn as the right time to detoxify the body and to successfully achieve rejuvenation.

“Just as we prepare our minds for the day ahead each morning, we must take opportunities to prepare our bodies and spirits for seasons, months and the year ahead,” says Dr Sharma.

How can we be more prepared?

• Breakfast - perhaps instead of a cold smoothie, swap it for some lovely hot oats!

• Get slow cooking - swap from salads to steamed vegetables, root vegetables, grains and curries or stews.

• It’s time to slow down and let go of summer’s frenetic pace by returning to more simple, grounding routines.
