Gwyneth Paltrow recommends using a cleanse to feel "healthier" in the new year.

The actress wrote a piece in her goop lifestyle newsletter inviting her followers to try cleansing their bodies for 2012.

Gwyneth believes it is the best thing for getting back in shape and recovering from the holiday splurge.

"Next week, when it's back to the grind with work and the daily school run, I'm starting off with Clean, my go-to cleanse from Dr. Alejandro Junger, with whom goop has partnered for the month of January," Gwyneth wrote.

The star has enjoyed using the programme before. The cleanse is a 21 day process which involves having a shake for breakfast, a solid meal for lunch and a shake for dinner, with Clean supplements throughout the day.

"I've used Clean in the past with great results, losing a few pounds and kick starting a healthier and more energetic New Year," Gwyneth continued. "This month, I'll be doing it along with members of the goop team and we hope you will too."

Gwyneth admitted to overdoing it over the Christmas period. The health-conscious star took to Twitter to express her excitement about the new plan.

"A goop Cleanse for 2012?" she wrote. "Oh yes! God knows I need it. Signed, Gwyneth's liver."
