DO you detox? And why you should...

Every morning, you scrub the bacteria off your mouth. And every month, you bundle up your newspapers and sell them off to the scrap-dealer. Every Diwali, you give your home a fresh coat of paint. But hey, do you detox? That is, do you, from time to time, cleanse out those insidious wastes sitting inside your intestines, blood vessels, kidneys, and your very heart?

You should.

DETOX, SPA STYLE

• Charter a (water) jet!

Mel Gibson does it. Sarah Fergusson does it. Herodotus discovered it. The French Prez is addicted to it. Why don't you? Get hooked to Thalassotherapy, that is. The big word comes from Greek 'thalassa' meaning 'sea'.

It's one of the oldest, most natural and best ways to treat stress. What happens? Well, you sit back and relax, while water jets propel comfortably warm sea water all over you!

It awakens the pores, stimulates circulation and relaxes the muscles.

Plus: you absorb nutrient-rich minerals from the water, which rejuvenates your very cells and reduce cellulite.

Where to get it: Ideally, at a scening vacation resort by the Mediterranean sea.
