Get motivated and back on track with these easy-to-digest health tips




1. Choose fresh air

Instead of using air fresheners, which often contain not so healthy chemicals such as 'artificial musks', throw open the windows and air your house the natural way. You'll save money, and help your health and the environment.



2. Gulp some grape juice

Research shows that grape juice can help heart function by improving levels of good cholesterol. And, say the manufacturers of Concord Purple Grape Juice, this super-drink also fights cancer-causing free-radicals and may protect against thrombosis.



3. Laugh more

A good laugh is like a mini-workout. Research also shows that it lowers levels of stress hormones, and heightens the activity of the body's natural defensive killer cells.



4. Go organic

Soothe, heal, revive and restore from the inside out. Everyday toiletries and skin care contain a cocktail of potentially damaging toxins. Switch to natural products and reap the benefits. Nourish your skin, reduce redness and broken capillaries with the Organic Rose range from £19.99 at The Organic Pharmacy.



5. Be kind to your kidneys

Stir a teaspoon of fresh honey into a cup of boiling water and sip slowly each evening - this will help cleanse your kidneys and fight bacteria in the body.

6. Ditch the barbeque
