While I agree with the point about Yoga, be clear you get the maximum benefits by a daily practice, especially with Bikram (hot) yoga. Doing yoga once a week is like drinking a glass of water once a week – you ened much more to see the benefits from yoga.

As far as detox programs, save your money – complete waste of time. Assuming you all have kidneys and a liver…they do the job just fine.

Supplements? More crap. Sorry, but if you are eating wisely you do not need supplements. ‘Fish oil’? ‘Probiotic supplements’? Suckers. Hey, you can send me $100.00 and I’ll send you a bottle of Froot Loops as a color supplement. Stop being lazy and put some thought into your diet for pete’s sakes.

I second the Carlson’s CLO advice — but I’d go for the lemon flavored variety — unless you’re just a a full-on masochist

I’ve never tried the herbal detoxes. However, I used to go for an intense session on the treadmill (I know you don’t like it but for improving your running speed and getting you sweating quick I don’t think there’s much competition) which get me sweating loads. I’d then take a quick shower and hit the sauna. It made me feel great. I’ve not done it for a while though because I have misplaced my swimming shorts (and they have to be worn at our gym). They’re in my room somewhere…I just haven’t got round to looking.

@ Trailgrrl: For a Cod Liver Oil Supplement I would reccomend Carlson's CLO its the best stuff on the market and is 100% worth the price....And as you have been on anti-biotics I would say you are in dire need of a probiotic, try having some Kefir if you can find it at your local health store or grocery store. As for a brand of probiotic have a look at this stuff.....

What should I look for in a high-quality Cod Liver Oil, Fish Oil, and probiotic supplement? I’ve been on antibiotics for several weeks for a bad sinus infection and my immune system and gut could use a good detox.

Is the oil form better than the gel caps? I don’t even know where to start on the probiotics. I keep reading the bottles at the store but haven’t bought any because I didn’t get around to doing the research.

Artichoke extract… I honestly didn’t know about that. Thanks for the pointers!

All the Best,

I like to take the sauna/steam room sweating detox a step further by combining it with a contrast shower. Two or three rounds of this (10 minutes of steam, a few minutes of cold showering)is fantastic for post-workout recovery. And very relaxing, too.

I recomend heating up the room with the portable heater first, for 5 mins or so, then keeping it on but not blowing directly on you (just to build up some ambient heat in the room). It is very helpful for yoga practice, may not be so kind to the electricity bill though
