Foods High In Anti-oxidants Help Detox Your Body

1. Fruits

Fruits are high in liquid-content, helping the body wash out toxins. They are also very easy to digest and are high in antioxidants, nutrients, fiber and important vitamins.

2. Dark Leafy Greens

Wheatgrass, kale, spinach, spirulina, alfalfa, swisschard, arugula or other organic leafy greens. These plants are loaded with chlorophyll and will give a boost to your digestive tract.

3. Citrus Fruits

Citrus fruit aids the body in flushing out toxins and jump starts the digestive tract with enzymatic processes. Lemon juice aids the liver in its cleansing processes. To increase detoxification, start each morning with a warm glass of lemon water.  Loaded with vitamin c, which is also an excellent detoxifier.

4. Garlic and onion

Garlic and onion help stimulate the liver into producing detoxification enzymes that help filter toxic residues from the entire digestive system.

5. Broccoli Sprouts

Extremely high in antioxidants, the ability for broccoli sprouts to stimulate the detoxification enzymes in the digestive tract is unparalleled. The sprouts are actually more effective than the fully-grown vegetable.

6. Green/Herbal Tea

  Herbal tea is full of antioxidants, green tea washes toxins from the system via its liquid content, but also contains a special type of antioxidant called catechins, which are known to increase liver function.

7. Mung Beans

The mighty mung bean has been used by Ayurvedic doctors for thousands of years. It is incredibly easy to digest, and absorbs toxic residue on the sides of the intestinal walls.

8. Raw Vegetables

Best for juicing or eaten raw: Onions, carrots, artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, garlic, beet, turmeric, and oregano. The combination of these foods will help your liver purge toxins during the cleansing process. These are high in naturally occurring sulphur and glutathione. Sulphur helps the liver detoxify harmful chemicals.

9. Seeds and Nuts

Incorporate more of the easily digestible seeds and nuts into your diet. Flax seed, pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, Siberian cedar nuts and sunflower seeds.

10. Omega-3 Oils

Use hemp, avocado, olive oils or flax seed oil. Oils help lubricate the intestinal walls, allowing the toxins to be absorbed by the oil, and eliminated by the body.
