As we reach the end of January the resolutions that many of us made can start to waiver. Despite starting new diets and fitness regimes at the beginning of the year, three weeks in it can be difficult to stay motivated. Our health is something we should all try to maintain year round, and that means eating a nutritious diet. Below is a selection of fine food to help you detox and start your year off in the right way.
Harrods Heritage No. 7 Green Tea
£9.95 >
The health benefits of green tea are well known; it is alleged to improve brain function, boost weight loss and reduce cholesterol. The high level of antioxidants makes it the perfect detox drink, and a healthy alternative to other hot beverages. Harrods Green Tea claims to offer an incredibly intense flavour. The tea leaves benefit from being grown at a high altitude in the far east, which enriches their flavour. This product is a store cupboard essential for any dieter.
Green & Black’s Dark Chocolate 85%
£2.19 >
Most of us think of chocolate as an occasional treat and not a healthy snack, but consuming moderate amounts of dark chocolate can give proven health benefits. Recent studies have concluded that dark chocolate is good for circulation, and reduces cholesterol. It also contains a high level of beneficial minerals, including iron, magnesium, zinc and potassium. Green & Black’s sell both 75% and 85% cocoa bars which offer a rich, intense flavour in a single square.
Coombe Farm Organic Salmon
£9.95 >
Oily fish make a great addition to your diet. They are packed with vitamins and minerals, and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to healthy brain function, the heart and joints. Salmon has received high praise for its health benefits and is claimed to have a positive effect on our physical bodies and mental wellbeing. Coombe Farm Organic deliver exceptional quality produce, and their Organic Salmon Fillets are a perfect option for a healthy, flavourful meal.
Creative Nature Chia & Mulberry Muffin Mix
£4.99 >
Chia seeds are considered to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet, and are packed with nutrients. The popular superfood can improve skin condition, digestive health and the heart, as well as boosting metabolism. Creative Nature Chia & Mulberry Muffin Mix is a simple and tasty way to add chia seeds to your diet
Comvita Manuka Honey UMF 15+
£42.99 >
Manuka honey produced in New Zealand is alleged to treat wounds and infections. The honey contains both hydrogen peroxide and methylglyoxal (MG) which give it its antibacterial qualities. Revital’s Comvita Manuka Honey has a UMF 15+ rating which is thought to correspond to a high concentration of MG, and greater therapeutic qualities. You can add it to herbal tea, drizzle it over yogurt, or spread it on multi-grain toast, and take advantage of the honey’s healing benefits.

£3.95 >
Blendology specialises in producing organic, functional teas. Each ingredient has been researched and chosen for its health benefits. Recover Tea is a blend of nettle leaf, peppermint leaf, burdock root, dandelion root and artichoke leaf which have been chosen for their detoxing and purifying qualities.
