Our bodies and minds are going through a tough time as we struggle through the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the body is designed to eliminate toxins, environmental pollutants, additive-laden foods and increased stress can put a downer on its detoxing abilities.

The new mantra that almost every country affected by COVID-19 is holding on to and promoting is: Flatten the Curve. In essence, flattening the curve is mostly about slowing the virus’s rate of infection, and this is something that South Africa has managed to do in quite a short space of time (for now).
