Detox Foods Detoxification Is An Essential Part of Optimal Health

Detox Foods : Detoxification is an
essential part of optimal health.
Lemon: Lemons are a staple of many detox diets, and there is good reason for this. Firstly,
lemons are packed with antioxidant vitamin C, which is great for the skin and for fighting
disease-forming free-radicals. Furthermore, the citrus fruit has an alkaline effect on the body,
meaning that it can help restore the body’s pH balance, benefitting the immune system. Try
starting your day with hot water and a slice of lemon to help flush out toxins and cleanse your
system.
Ginger: If too much fatty food or alcohol has caused problems for your digestive system, it
may be worthwhile adding some ginger to your diet. Ginger is not only great for reducing
feelings of nausea, but it can help improve digestion, beat bloating and reduce gas. In addition
to this, ginger is high in antioxidants and is good for boosting the immune system. To give your
digestion a helping hand, try sipping on ginger tea or adding some freshly grated ginger to a fruit
or vegetable juice.
Garlic: Garlic has long been known for its heart benefits, however the pungent food is also
good at detoxifying the body. Garlic is not only antiviral, antibacterial and antibiotic, but it
contains a chemical called allicin which promotes the production of white blood cells and helps
fight against toxins. Garlic is best eaten raw, so add some crushed garlic to a salad dressing to
boost its flavour and your health at the same time.
Artichoke: If you have recently been overindulging in fatty foods and alcohol, adding some
steamed globe artichoke leaves to your meals is a great way to help get your body back on
track. Globe artichokes are packed with antioxidants and fibre and can also help the body digest
fatty foods. On top of this, globe artichoke is renowned for its ability to stimulate and improve the
functions of the liver – the body’s main toxin-fighting tool.

Beetroot: For those needing a quick health-boosting shot of nutrients, you can’t do much better
than beetroot. Packed with magnesium, iron, and vitamin C, the vegetable has recently been
hailed as a superfood due to its many reported health benefits. Not only is beetroot great for
skin, hair and cholesterol levels, but it can also help support liver detoxification, making it an
ultimate detox food. To enjoy its benefits, try adding raw beetroot to salads or sipping on some
beetroot juice.
Green tea: While it’s not technically a food, no detox plan would be complete without regular
consumption of essential liquids. Fluids are essential for keeping our organs healthy and helping
to flush toxins from the body, and drinking green tea is a great way of boosting your intake.
Green tea is not only a good weight-loss drink, but it is extremely high in antioxidants. Research
has also suggested that drinking green tea can protect the liver from diseases including fatty
liver disease .
Cabbage: Many celebs have resorted to the cabbage soup diet to help lose weight and get in
shape quickly before a big event, however cabbage is not only good for weight loss – it is also
an excellent detoxifying food. Like most cruciferous vegetables (including broccoli and sprouts),
cabbage contains a chemical called sulforaphane, which helps the body fight against toxins.
Cabbage also supplies the body with glutathione; an antioxidant that helps improve the
detoxifying function of the liver.
Fresh fruit: Fresh fruits are high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre= and are also low
in calories, making them an important part of a detox diet. If you’re after brighter eyes and skin,
shinier hair and improved digestion, try boosting your intake of fruit and eating from a wide
variety of different kinds. The good news is fruit is easy to add to your diet, so try starting your
day with a fresh fruit salad or smoothie and snacking on pieces of fruit throughout the day.
Brown rice: If you want to cleanse your system and boost your health, it is a good idea to cut
down on processed foods. Instead, try supplementing your diet with healthier whole grains such
as brown rice, which is rich in many key detoxifying nutrients including B vitamins, magnesium,
manganese and phosphorous. Brown rice is also high in fibre, which is good for cleansing the
colon, and rich in selenium, which can help to protect the liver as well as improving the
complexion.
Watercress: Like most green herbs and vegetables, watercress is an excellent health-booster
and detox food. Firstly, watercress leaves are packed with many vital detoxifying nutrients,
including several B vitamins, zinc, potassium, vitamin E and vitamin C. Secondly, watercress
has natural diuretic properties, which can help to flush toxins out the body. To reap the benefits
of this nutritious food, try adding a handful of watercress to salads, soups and sandwiches.
