Been overdoing the feasting and tempted by the latest 'detox' diet or supplements?  Well here's a good idea to help you recover and save you money at the same time.  First, drink a glass or two of water (tap is fine, cheaper and more sustainable than bottled); second, get a little exercise - maybe a walk in the park - and third, enjoy some nice home-cooked food.  There's a lot of nonsense talked about 'detoxing' and most people seem to forget that we are born with a built-in detox mechanism. It's called the liver. So my advice would be to ditch the detox diets and supplements and buy yourself something nice with the money you've saved.  Personally, I would recommend the new Neil Young and Steve Earle albums.  What about you? Happy New Year!
