The simplest detox
The idea of a detox – cleansing, healing and fresh beginnings – is both practical and symbolic. It is practical because it is about changing our habits, usually in eating, drinking and exercise. It is symbolic because it responds to something deeper in us, psychological or spiritual cleansing and renewal, if you like. Walking provides physical exercise and contact with nature nourishes the spirit. Whether you call it 'detox' or not, there's no better tonic than that, and a fitting start to the year.
