Dr Joshi’s Holistic Detox – Gwyneth Paltrow is a fan!

Gwyneth Paltrow has her own secrets for glowing skin and cellulite-free body. In addition to daily fitness routine with her personal trainer Tracy Anderson and treatments at the Leg School of the Capri Palace Hotel & Spa, she also follows a diet drawn up for her by guru to the stars Nish Joshi, the well-known Indian doctor who has a London clinic and has laid out his detox rules in his book, Joshi’s HOLISTIC DETOX.

This is how doctor Joshi explains his HOLISTIC DETOX: ” The food programme that you’re about to follow is not an alkane diet. It is a holistic metabolic detox that is designed to improve the functioning of your organs and your body’s metabolism. but because you undoubtedly consume too many acidic foods (everybody does), you need to cut the acid right back and increase the alkaline so that 70-75 % of what goes into your mouth is alkaline or alkaline-forming. “

“A good nutritional profile requires us to eat the right kind of foods: clean and pure and free from additives, preservatives and man-made chemicals. It also demands an intake of liquids that are equally clean and preserve free.”

Joshi suggests 10 DETOX RULES:

NO RED MEAT

NO DAIR PRODUCE

NO FRUIT – EXCEPT BANANAS

NO WHEAT, GLUTEN, YEAST

NO ALCOHOL

NO BISCUITS, CAKES, DOUGHNUTS

NO JAMS, SPREADS – EXCEPT HONEY

NO COFFEE, DECAFFEINATED COFFEE OR TEA – EXCEPT HERBAL TEAS

NO SUGAR, CHOCCOLATE, SWEETS

NO ARTIFICIALLY PRODUCED FLAVOURINGS: TOMATO, KETCHUP, VINEGAR, MUSTARD ETC.

If you think that taking all of the above out from your daily diet is impossible, doctor Joshi will prove you wrong. Follow our weekly blog posts to get more tips from his HOLISTIC DETOX.

JULIA ROBERT’S BEAUTY SECRET – EXTRA -VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Just came across the blog post on VOGUE.IT today, which says that the latest Julia Roberts’s beauty passion is extra-virgin olive oil. Julia uses it for both skin and hair care. She  emulsifies a few drops of oil with warm water then massages it in her nails, or hair, and leaves it on as a mask for about half an hour. It is also works as a great moisturiser for her feet; she  rubs extra-virgin olive oil into her heels, pulls on a pair of old bed socks and leaves it on all night. Result: baby smooth skin in the morning.

Phyto 9 recommended by FT How To Spend It

Catherine Moye, the journalist for FT How To Spend It Online (www.howtospendit.com) names her discovery of Phyto 9 Ultra Nourishing Hair Cream her Nirvana moment in hair care: ” The hair products fates have tested me in the past. After I had spent years trying to improve on the dried -out bird’s nest that I awoke to each morning, my friend Marianne came back from France with a little tube of something called Phyto 9. At that time – around 1990 – it was available only in France. As modestly packaged as it was idiotic sounding. Phyto 9 worked wonders. A daily moisturiser for the hair , Phyto Number 9 sinks into the shaft of the hair, making it softer and more pliable, much like a facial moisturiser does for the skin.”.

INGREDIENT OF THE WEEK – OLIVE OIL

ORIGIN

The Olive Tree has been known since Biblical times. In Mediterranean folk medicine, the leaves are sometimes used in herbal teas.

TYPES

EXTRA VIRGIN- considered the best, least processed, comprising the oil from the first pressing of the olives.

VIRGIN- from the second pressing.

PURE – undergoes some processing, such as filtering and refining.

EXTRA LIGHT- undergoes considerable processing and only retains a very mild olive flavor.

The oil that comes from the first “pressing” of the olive, is extracted without using heat (a cold press) or chemicals, and has no “off” flavors is awarded “extra virgin” status. The less the olive oil is handled, the closer to its natural state, the better the oil. If the olive oil meets all the criteria, it can be designated as “extra virgin”.

COSMETIC BENEFITS

Wellbeing

However, mostly the oil is used: as a lubricant, to relieve constipation or, mixed with garlic, to treat joint and muscle aches. In conventional medicine it is used as a carrier oil for fat-soluble medications and in the treatment of skin conditions. In Bach flower remedies, Olive is recommended for exhaustion and mental fatigue.

Skincare

Olive oil is particularly beneficial for treating dry and inflamed skin. Cold-pressed olive oil is rich in a number of vitamins and minerals. Because it is rather thick and green, it is most pleasant to use it diluted 10 – 50% with other bas oils.
