NO matter how good your intentions were over Christmas, the biggest New Year's resolution is usually to shape up, whether it's joining a gym, going on a diet or simply getting healthier.

And for those who want to boost their energy levels and lose weight in two weeks, Xandria Williams's new Herbal Detox Plan could be the answer.

Williams, who has written on detox and nutrition, packs the book with everything you need to know about how to detox using herbs, including a four-week herbal cleansing and revitalising programme tailored to your own needs.

With toxins playing a bigger part in people's lives, whether in food, drink or simply lurking in the environment, the book also looks at the body's systems to help identify health problems.

With sections on the digestive tract, immune system and liver among others, Williams includes suggestions on how to tackle everything from lack of mental alertness to headaches.

And if the thought of a lengthy detox is off-putting, she includes mini and micro detox regimes to get you started.

Published in paperback by Vermilion, priced £7.99.
