Dr Rossi explains that a new study shows that water source has a measurable impact on our gut microbiome, which in turn can affect our immune system and our health in general.

Davina shows off the results of healthy living online

Last year she told her followers: "I have made myself a commitment. From 1 November I'm going to cut out refined sugar, fruit and honey for the first couple of weeks to try and get myself off sugar again. I've massively fallen off the sugar-free wagon and it's ugly." 

"I don't want to do it anymore," Davina continued. "It makes me feel rubbish and it makes me feel super bloated."
