Don’t just help yourself
When you drink sparkling Alibi Pomegranate or Citrus flavoured health drink, you’re not only preparing your body for the demands of a busy day or a long gym session, but also helping a charity in war-torn Afghanistan. The makers of Alibi are working with the charity POM354, to persuade the local farmers to stop growing poppies (opium) for heroin production and switch to growing pomegranate orchards instead. For every can of drink sold, Alibi is funding 5p - the cost of converting three poppy plants into pomegranates - one less shot of heroin on the streets.
The delicious health drink contains 17 body-cleansing ingredients including vitamins, amino acids and herbal extracts. Available from Harvey Nichols, health food stores and 150 branches of Waitrose. RRP £1.49.
