Where nutritious meets delicious: introducing Detox Delight Astrid Purzer 96
Life is about balance. We all want to enjoy the finer things, wonderful meals and evenings out with friends. But there are times when perhaps we feel we ve overindulged, and need to purify our systems. So many times we vow that just as soon as this holiday is over, or a new year begins, we re going to start living a healthier life. But the solution is simple, really. By balancing a healthy diet with those special occasions when we want to indulge, we can achieve long-term improvement in our nutrition, and thus in our overall wellbeing. An imbalanced diet and eating at irregular intervals, consuming too much sugar, fat or coffee, as well as not getting enough exercise, all have a negative impact on our appearance and wellbeing. Traces of environmental toxins and contaminants (which we ingest unconsciously through food, water, air, clothing, household cleaning products and cosmetics) also put a strain on our metabolism as the undesirable substances deposit themselves in our cells and joints. While we are naturally equipped with a liver, kidneys, an intestine and a lymph system to combat these toxins, when put under too much strain, our body is no longer capable of cleansing itself as effectively. So if you feel that you have neglected your health, need an extra vitamin boost or a break from fast food and convenience food, or want to be nutritionally supported in times of stress by balancing eating habits, then it might be time for a very special detox from Detox Delight. It s consistent, simple, pure enjoyment, focusing on a natural, nutrient-rich diet that supports the self-purification of your body, and it is designed for busy people who don t wish to neglect their health and nutrition. The fact that Detox Delight products including juices, soups, and snacks are simply delicious is a tasty bonus. 97

Stored and delivered-to-door at a constant 2 to 8 degrees centigrade (in dark conditions), juices, soups and raw foods retain their optimal vitamin content perfectly over a three-day period. The care and attention taken to ensure that bottles, packaging and glassware have no environmental impact on the product is exceptional. Each and every bottle and jar is specifically flown in from specialist packaging manufacturers in Germany to ensure product perfection and zero leaching of harmful chemicals into the juices and soups.

This personalised service can make a tremendous impact on one s feeling of health and wellbeing but Detox Delight takes it to a higher level, remaining on call at any given time to offer support, advice on nutrition, or to answer any questions clients may have. In the UAE, healthy nutrition has all too often been limited to the same monotone flavours, leaving no room for enjoyment. This is often the reason why such diets are not carried through to the end. However, Detox Delight changes all that, using refined gourmet recipes developed by renowned international raw food chefs and detox experts to provide you with a taste sensation. Everything is carefully prepared fresh each day. We make no compromises when it comes to our ingredients, just as you wouldn t compromise when it comes to your wellbeing. 101
