Water of choice for the January detox
Every January I do my penance and teach my evil body a lesson by depriving it of alcohol, caffeine and fried foods, and forcing it to strain and pump to weird tunes on my cross training sessions. Usually I get bored after about two weeks.
Sat here in the middle of my current detox, not one single person has asked me which water is best for detoxifying with, so I thought I would tell you.
The still water of choice in the Wino household is Volvic. I find Evian just a tad too chalky, and others too expensive, although my local Spar currently has 4L of Evian for £1.25 so chalk it is for now. Well we are in a depression aren’t we?
On celebratory evenings, my fizz is supplied by San Pellegrino, the sparking water of kings and the Mafia. The bubbles are just right and if drunk cold, is a perfect refresher after exercise. The bottle recommends serving at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius but I say take it straight from the fridge at about 5 deg.
So for good detox simply sleep well, drink water and exercise a lot. You will feel great, but don’t die of boredom.
Currently I have only old wine notes to publish, which offer limited stimulation to a writer’s juice flowing equipment. Oh well, once more unto the breach of the cross trainer…

I’m right there with you. I gorged myself over the holidays. Not only that, but I sat on my butt the whole time because it was too cold to go outside. So I’m doing a clense also. For a true cleanse, may I suggest distilled water? It may not taste as good as those others, but it contains no trace minerals, etc. I’ll look forward to seeing your wine reviews once you are finished with the detox.

Think you’ve got problems- I’ve been off the sauce since December 23 thanks to the quack, and a cellar full of Christmas cheer thats crying out to be liberated from the bottle!
Toot toot!
