Lose a dress size before Christmas
December is a month of food and drink indulgence. By incorporating some or all of our simple and practical detox tips into your daily diet, you will ensure that your body is adequately prepared for the holiday period.
• Warm water with lemon: A glass of warm water with lemon before breakfast is cleansing and detoxifying.
• Vitamin C: Take some additional vitamin C (e.g. 1000mg Effervescent tablets). It helps the body produce glutathione, a liver compound that drives toxins away from the body.
• Eliminate wheat, dairy, coffee, sugar, high fat foods, alcohol, bad fats and red meat: You will have too much of the above during the festive season so do your liver a big favour before “the time of indulgence” arrives.
• Introduce Green Vegetable juice: Studies show that incorporating at least 1 freshly squeezed vegetable green juice a day, increases metabolic rate and makes you to lose weight faster
• Take a couple of spoonfuls of Extra Virgin Olive Oil before going to bed to help stimulate your liver to eliminate bile and keep circulation flowing.
• Dry brushing: Dry brushing helps to detoxify the lymphatic system, metabolism and the whole body. Do it before bath, shower and exercises.
• Hot bath with Epsom Salt (or Dead Sea Salt): Have a warm to hot bath with some Epsom Bath Salt before going to bed. It removes toxins from the body, reduce swelling, improve skin structure, relieve muscular pain, ease stress etc.
• Sea Salt Scrub: Use it while having bath as it helps to improve lymphatic system, removes dead skin cells and toxins from the body.
• Lymphatic drainage massage: Helps increase lymph flow. Increased lymph flow removes harmful substances from the tissues to your liver where they are detoxified
• Warm water with lemon: A glass of warm water with lemon before breakfast is cleansing and detoxifying.

Stress and Weight Gain
So many of us wonder why they don’t lose weight despite exercising and healthy eating habits. You might have reduced or eliminated all possible indulgence – carbs, lattes, desserts – and yet, there is no sign of a major weight loss.
There is a direct correlation between stress and weight gain: “Within a few minutes of being in a state of high anxiety and stress, the body releases the hormone Cortisol which, in turn, leads to blood sugar spikes, insulin resistance and weight gain.”
The main indicator insulin resistance of is:
• Fat around the middle: the liver turns excess sugar into fat and stores it around your waist
Health concern:
• Abdominal fat is linked to heart disease and diabetes
Stress vs Metabolism
Metabolism meltdown
You may not see a different in your weight on the scales but study has shown that chronic stress increases concentration of the hormones Leptin and Blood Glucose levels. According to Dr. Joan Borysenko “the study shows is that muscle and other tissues were turning into fat and the stress was influencing overall metabolic health.”
Affected sleep pattern
Stress stops us sleeping which puts further pressure on our metabolism:
• A study involved 120,000 people over 20 years has found that sleeping less than 6 hours and more than 8 hours is linked to weight gain.
• A study from University of Chicago has found that people who have a good night sleep lose 55% more body fat than those who only got 5-hour sleep
Once tired and sleepy, our bodies need more fuel. This makes us opt for more fatty foods and carbs which are almost immediately changed into glucose.

“The Purifyne program was a lot easier than I expected with better results than I could have hoped for. The prospect of relying on juices for 5 days seemed daunting at first but with the exception of a wobbly hour on day two, everything seemed easy! My goal was to lose some weight and adjust my eating habits post the 5 day detox. I lost 12lbs and became motivated to eat better. The Purifyne guidelines are excellent and the support is constant. A tip for new starters is to do the preparation before the program starts.”

How refined sugar affects your body
Sugar in its refined form - sucrose – has a negative impact on the body and its performance:
• Interferes with absorption of proteins
• Has ability to change structure of protein which in turn, change the way they act in the body.
• Produces rise in ‘bad’ cholesterol LDL
• Depletes ‘good’ cholesterol HDL
• Creates an emotional instability
• Decreases skin elasticity

“I did the Bespoke Plus 7-days Weight Loss Detox Plan with Purifyne and am delighted with the results. Not only have I lost 4 kilos, but I feel clearer and lighter in my body and mind. This process has allowed me to “detox” from my cravings for sugar, my snacking at night and my addiction to chewing-gums! I am now more aware of what and how I eat. At no moment during the 7 days had I felt hungry or without a lack of energy, only the odd headache here and there and some irritability on the second day. So a truly positive experience to be recommended”

Natural remedies for headaches
Natural remedies for any type of headache could be a powerful weapon. Yet the vast majority of us reaches out for antibiotics and painkillers when it comes to headaches.
Before embarking on taking antibiotics and painkiller which, in turn, will damage your liver in the long-run, consider incorporating natural remedies (see below) into your daily diet. It is very often the case that all we need to eliminate headache is simple lifestyle changes, relaxation and elimination of certain food.
Common Triggers:
• Stress
• Food intolerances: refined carbohydrates, chocolate, sweets, dairy, caffeine, alcohol
• Blood sugar imbalance
• Body toxicity level
• Sleep deprivation
• Hormonal fluctuations (in women)
• Smoke
• Excess sun (or too little sun)
• Anxiety
Solutions:
De-stress: Stress is one of the most common cause for headache. Release stress by:
• Having a glass of red wine – ONE glass only
• Taking a nap
• Having a hot bath
• Exercising as it helps the flow of endorphins
• Having a massage: it offers double relief – physical and mental
Herbs:
Willow bark (was used to develop Aspirin in 1800s) contains Salicin – a chemical similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) – that has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of the herb. The effect is slower than aspirin but it lasts longer.
Feverfew is an herb that acts by limiting the production of Prostaglandins, the brain chemicals responsible for contracting blood vessels. The contraction and expansion of the blood vessels are thought to cause the “pounding” of headaches. Feverfew tends to release the pain.
Acerola Cherry is a Latin American “super fruit” with high levels of Anthocyanins - anti-inflammatory similar to aspirin and ibuprofen – and are known for their headache relief quality.
Teas: Nettle, Feverfew and Camomile teas together
Magnesium-rich foods: Magnesium relaxes muscles and nerves. Foods with high source of magnesium include: Green and Sea vegetables, Avocados, Alfalfa sprouts, Millet, Brown rice, Quinoa, Soya, Hazelnuts and Watercress.
Hemp and Flax seeds: high in Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) that have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Oily fish: Salmon, Sardines, Mackerel – high levels of EFAs.

Natural aids in your war against cellulite
The level of toxins in the system is one of the major causes of cellulite as the body stores dietary toxins in the cells just under the skin. Toxins disrupt the layer of cells causing cellulite which affects over 90% of women.
While there is no quick or definite cure for the bumpy “orange peel” skin, detoxification is a vital component that can reverse the process by cleansing and improving the structure of skin cells.
Here are a few natural aiders that can assist you to fight the bumpy “orange peel’ skin:
Seaweeds: One of the most important elements in seaweeds is the organic iodine that has a very strong effect on the metabolism and mobilises fat. Iodine regulates the thyroid gland which in turn regulates the functioning of the metabolism.
• Kelp* (liquid/tablets) is a sea plant that supports thyroid function and can help in your fight with cellulite as well as improve the condition of your hair, skin and nails.
*People with underactive thyroid tend to have problems with losing weight and therefore, it is advisable for them to take kelp as a supplement. However, those with overactive should not take kelp.
Celery’s stems, leaves and seeds contain active anti-inflammatory substances and have a strong diuretic effect. Both of these characteristics can help you banish cellulite.
• Eat it raw as a snack since many of its active ingredients are lost when they are cooked
• Juice it and mix it with Carrot, Tomato, or Beetroot juice
• Juice it with Cabbage as it works synergistically to break down fat cells
Beetroots contain the Alkaloid Betaine which has a significant effect on the liver by detoxifying it and stimulating its normal function. It has some healing and tonic quality, helps spur fat mobilisation and tone the body.
• Grate it raw for your salad
• Juice it to cleanse and "build" the blood
Gotu Kola is is one of the few herbs that have been investigated specifically as a treatment for Cellulite. A 3-month study involving 65 people with Cellulite resulted in 58% of participants reporting 'very good' results and a 20% with 'satisfactory' outcome. Ideal in treating Cellulite due to its ability of enhance the structure of the connective tissue surrounding fat chambers and by the same action improves the circulation of blood. It strengthens connective tissues by stimulating the body's production of the ground substance that keeps collagen fibres locked firmly in place.
Grape Seed extract supports connective tissue by reinforcing the cross-linking structure of collagen. It is also a powerful antioxidant and improves the lifespan of Vitamin C which is itself important to the health of the connective tissue. Like Gotu Kola, Grape seed extract helps maintain the strength and elasticity of the blood vessels for healthy circulation.

Bikini Body Ready
Summer is upon us and the Beach Season is just around the corner. Purifyne is pleased to introduce our new Bespoke Plus Detox Plans for your ultimate Bikini Body Ready.
Our new Bespoke Plus Detox is an excellent method to achieve lean, toxins and cellulite-free body. With some help of the below ingredients you can enjoy Bikini Body Ready this summer
• Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs): appetite suppressant, fat burner and skin cells improver
• Spirulina: appetite controller, fat burner etc.
• Chlorella: cleansing agent with the highest source of Chlorophyll and other antioxidants
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs):
There is a direct correlation between the lack of EFAs and the appearance of cellulite. Incorporating Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) into our Bespoke Plus Detox, the plan concentrates on improving skin structure by strengthening and keeping the “structural framework" of the skin cells supple and elastic.
By providing ‘good fats’ to the body, EFAs assist in suppressing appetite, decreasing unhealthy cravings, burning more calories and, ultimately, losing weight.
Spirulina
The blue green alga has a direct effect on the brain's satiety centre and represents an excellent aid to appetite control and fat loss. Spirulina is superfoods with easy digested protein (12-15 times more protein than steak), high in EFAs and the highest level of beta-carotene and chlorophyll. Both help to boost collagen and enable the body to make Vitamin A.
Chlorella
A natural ‘whole food’, this "green miracle" alga is used as an anti-ageing food and supplement. Chlorella provides the highest source of Chlorophyll, one of the most cleansing agents and assists the body in fighting against free radicals by energising it with antioxidants, multi-vitamins and minerals. Free radicals rob our body from healthy cells and are the main triggers for ageing fast.

Purifyne Success Story
“For me Puryfine ( http://www.purifyne.com/ )is more than a diet, it is a lifestyle and life changing experience! I loved it and a big fun of it from the first time I have tried it !!!”

Purifyne recipe: Red Cabbage and Smocked Mackerel
Purifyne detox is a valuable tool to improve your health and overall wellbeing. You can reduce your weight, improve complexion, reduce craving, improve sleeping pattern etc. Although our detox plans are the perfect spring board to starting a long-term, healthy and balanced diet, it is not the answer to ‘ever healthy you’ if your every day food choices consist of deep fried, high refined, ‘no fibre’ and vital nutrients foods.
Purifyne’s goal is to revolutionise your long-term relationship with food and your body. As you progress through your detox, your approach to food naturally changes and you make healthier food choices almost subconsciously.With that in mind, we create our own Purifyne recipes which are quick and easy to prepare and, most importantly, they are delicious. We use fruit and vegetables that possess detoxifying qualities such as red cabbage, beetroot, carrots, broccoli, lemon etc. We combine them with foods that have vital nutrients for your body and mind (rather brain e.g. Mackerel, Tuna is high in Omega-3 etc.).
Purifyne recipe: Red Cabbage and Mackerel/Salmon/Tuna Salad – 1 portion
Vegetables and Smocked Mackerel:
• Red cabbage (handful), sliced in thin slices
• Raw (or cooked) beetroot (1 medium piece), sliced or chopped in small pieces
• Carrots (1 small piece), sliced in half and chopped in thin slices
• Red pepper (1/2 pepper), chopped in small pieces
• Raw broccoli (1 small branch), roughly chopped in small pieces
• Avocado (1/4 of big piece), roughly chopped in small pieces
• Smocked mackerel (1-2 medium pieces)
Seeds and Nuts:
• Seeds: handful of sunflower, hemp and brown linseeds
• Walnuts: 5-7 big halves crashed in small pieces
Sauces:
• Tamari sauce (for taste)
• Extra Virgin Oil (for taste)
Preparation (5-10min): Chop and mix the above vegetables together first and then add mackerel in a bowl. Drop some seeds/nuts and pour Olive Oil and Tamari sauce.

9 ways easy ways to add spring-fit food
1. Rye bread: Choose rye bread instead of white, brown or wholegrain when you make your sandwiches.
2. Spinach in pasta: Add to any pasta – it automatically reduces the portion of pasta you have on your plate. Spinach is a great source of iron (important for your energy levels).
3. Brown pasta: Go for brown pasta instead of white.
4. Watercress: Sprinkle watercress in powder wherever you can (oatcakes with a tablespoon of cottage cheese), great detoxifier and energiser.
5. Natural yogurt: Have some natural yogurt with a bit of honey, handful of strawberries, mango, apricots
6. Digestive mix: Take a teaspoon of “digestive mix” after each meal: great way of help your digestion.
7. Lamb’s liver: Swap traditional sausages mash with lamb’s liver and mash: liver is high in Iron, Vitamin A, B6 and B12.
8. Artichoke: Have some roasted artichoke. You can also squeeze lemon juice over them and have them baked.
9. Olives: Eating out? Order some olives instead of bread before your meal as they are great sources of monosaturated fat and vitamin E.

Success Story of the month: April
“I am loving the juices and cannot believe that they have filled me up and not made me crave for any solid food. I am going to replicate a few juices in my routine after the programme is over as I love the flavours so much and the combinations really surprised me. I have also been making good progress as suggested in the guidelines”

How to eliminate excess body fat effectively
In order to eliminate excess fat effectively, the body’s biochemical and energetic balance must be re-established. The imbalance is the main initial causes of fat being accumulated.
Practically every overweight body is nutrionally starved despite the number of calories it has consumed. The digestive system of those who eat highly processed, chemically altered foods and those who chronically overeats, does not function properly as remains in a state of persistent stimulation, craving the nutrients it deserves.
The more you overeat, the more difficult for your body to deal with excess, chemically processed foods and it stores this excess food as fat cells. Fat cells, in turn, are a perfect storehouse for toxins and people who easily store fat have difficulty dealing with these waste matters. We find ourselves in a vicious circle: excess fat decreases metabolic rate and toxins build up as more fat is stored. Liver is the most important fat burning organ in the body: it recycles, regenerates and detoxifies. The main function of the liver is to eliminate toxins from the body which, in turn, improves its metabolic rate. It regulates fat metabolism by a complicated set of biochemical pathways. It can also pump excessive fat out of the body through the bile into the small intestines. Thus, the liver is an impressive ‘body tool’ for keeping weight under control as it is both a fat burning and fat pumping organ.
However, liver put under constant stress by consuming more foods with harmful ingredients does not perform its major functions efficiently.
To achieve permanent fat loss, detoxification or elimination of toxic matters is the key, hence, liver must function at its best.
Purifyne Juice Detox concentrates on cleansing the liver. We use ingredients to detoxify this major fat burning organ so that it starts performing its major function in a more effective manner. As you start to feed your body with naturally squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, your digestion will improve and your metabolism starts to function normally again.

What to do when you feel hungry during juice detox plan:
The most important aspect of being on detox is to stay hydrated. This is also the key to not feeling hungry during the first 2-3 days while on juice detox. You will be always encouraged not to leave big gaps between your drinks and consume as much water, coconut water, herbal teas etc. as you possibly can. The following steps herbal supplement and drinks can be taken to minimise a possible feeling of hunger.
1. Take additional Psyllium Husk: Not only does this natural Soluble fibre absorbs toxins in a sponge-like manner but it also expands rapidly (once in the intestines) providing you with a feeling of being full for quite a while.
2. Have some warm water with honey: Warm water tends to be more filling than cold. Adding some honey (glucose) will curb your hunger.
3. Have some additional Coconut water: The water is the most naturally nutritious and hydrating drink in the world. Rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and living enzymes, coconut water has a slightly sweet flavour which helps in keeping you fuller for longer.
4. Warm detox broth: It is very easy to prepare, keeps you warm and, most importantly, fill you up. What is more, this nutritious drink provides your body with vital minerals which assists your body with detoxification process.

Detoxification imbalance
To eliminate stored fat cells forever, biochemical and energetic balance in your body must be re-established. This imbalance is one of the key causes of fat to accumulate in the first place.
Leading to toxins accumulation, Detoxification imbalance makes losing weight especially difficult. Some toxins can even act as hormones in the body and cause additional fat to build up.
By effectively cleansing toxins from your body ( http://www.purifyne.com/ ), you will experience a metabolic rate and energy level increase, a dramatic decrease in cravings, headaches and amount of sleep. Most of these factors are vital in maintaining a healthy weight level for years to come.
Once your liver receives ‘a holiday’ from detoxifying an overloaded with toxins body, it starts performing its vital function in a much efficient way i.e. detoxifying any residual toxins together with previously stored fat cells. Therefore, detoxification of your body is of a paramount importance for not only a weight loss but an overall well-being.
Symptoms:
• Weight gain despite not overeating
• Skin problems e.g. acne, rosacea etc.
• Decreasing tolerance to alcohol and caffeine
• Regular stuffy nose and congestion
Foods that help:
• Brown rice, gluten free oats, millet, quinoa
• Dark green and root vegetables, chillies, garlic
• Fruit, lemon
• Wheat grass juice, lemon juice
• Aloe Vera
• Seeds
Foods that harm:
• Caffeine, alcohol
• Artificial chemicals, sweeteners, preservatives, additives
• Barbecued or chargrilled meat
• Refined, gluten and grains: wheat, barley, spelt, kamut, rye
• Sugar, syrups, honey

Purifyne will be closely following Mr. Yahya’s progress during his 7-day Detox Plan.
Purifyne Success Story
“I felt great during a weekend detox: slept very well (11 hours in a row) which is quite rare for me. Surprisingly I had no cravings at all, the juices were delightful and I felt full of energy all the time with no headache or tiredness. I have also lost 2.2 lbs in a weekend. The cleaning process didn’t disrupt my daily routine i.e. going out etc. I am now seriously considering undertaking a 3-5-day detox plan next time.”
Thursday 10 February 2011
Success Story of the month: February 2011
‘I have done several juice fasts, what makes Purifyne ( www.purifyne.com ) different are the extra details - the supplements, the enema option, the advice to make a 'mineral broth' and the addition of coconut water. Their daily tips are inspiring and practical. I felt supported and looked after throughout my juice fast, and would certainly recommend them.’
