What Foods Can Help Us Detox Our Bodies?
We can overwhelm our liver and its ability to pull toxins out of our body; yeast and parasites can inhabit our bowels; and secondhand smoke and air pollution can affect our lungs. So, about once every few months, or whenever I’m not feeling well, I go on a detoxification regimen. I like to cleanse my whole system through herb-spiked liquids, healing foods, and nutritional supplements.
Pure water may be the ultimate detoxifying flush for kidneys, liver, lungs, and bowels, but green tea is also excellent. Here is a list of my top 10 favorite detoxing foods:
- Artichokes
- Daikon radish
- Chia seeds and flaxseeds
- Garlic
- Green tea
- Leafy greens
- Lemon
- Rosemary
- Sea Vegetables
- Turmeric
