Detox Foods and Drinks
To do any type of detox, it’s important to know about detox foods. These are the special foods and drinks that help your body to release and eliminate the toxins stored within the cells of your body. Detox diet foods (and drinks) include water, teas, vegetables, herbs, fruits and berries, nuts and seeds, and a host of others that can be incorporated into your daily diet.
Visualize the importance of each of these special foods by first thinking of the valuable service it provides to your internal organs in their everyday tasks of extracting and eliminating those nasties from your system.
Why do we need detox foods?
Your colon could not even begin to do its job without the help of fluids like water, teas and juices to help it push those toxins out of the body. The liver needs healthy fats, like those in olive oil, flax seeds and even the delicious avocado to produce its bile. Kidneys need water also, and we’ll find how beneficial special fruits and vegetables such as cranberries are to these versatile organs.
Avocado for healthy fat
Imagine the intricate dance that must be performed for the body to eliminate those heavy metals we accumulate on a daily basis. Why allow the body to encase those metals and toxins in ugly pads of fat when you can feed it transport agents such as cilantro to pick up and haul them out.
This list of foods that detox the body is a powerful reminder that we are able to make our daily meals into the detox media we need to win in the battle against toxins.
View and memorize this list. Use it daily to plan your attack against toxins, before they gain the advantage against you in your own body.
