Detoxing with Superfoods
Detoxing is a wonderful way to cleanse our bodies of toxins and restore balance and energy. However, certain detoxes can actually be filled with toxins and chemicals - the exact things they are supposed to expel. Plus, more and more celebrities have begun endorsing extreme detoxes, including the ones that aren’t so good for your body.
Is it possible to detox in a natural, safe, enjoyable way? Of course! Enter: superfoods. Simply adding a few cleansing foods to your diet can help rid your body of toxins. Here are the best choices:
1. Goji Berries: High in antioxidants, goji berries can help prevent illness by absorbing and expelling free radicals that act as toxins in our bodies. Add some to your salad or try these tasty veggie wraps.
2. Beet Juice Powder: Acting as a cleansing agent by improving blood PH, beet juice powder can help flush fatty deposits from the blood, and improve circulation. Add a teaspoon to your smoothie or a cup of water with a splash of lemon.
3. Wheat Grass Juice Powder: Rich in living chlorophyll, a substance that helps detox organs, wheat grass is an effective liver and intestine detoxifier. It can remove chemical neurotoxins that compromise the blood and the gastrointestinal tract. Try a teaspoon in this cleansing daily recipe!
4. Flax Seeds + Chia Seeds: Fiber is the body’s natural cleanser. By adding more fiber to your diet, you will naturally increase the movement of toxins out of your system. Top your smoothie bowls with either seed for a boost of fiber!
Detoxes don’t have to mean expensive shakes or fasting - they can be simple, easy, and even free! We don’t always have to make a complete lifestyle change just to be healthier. Sometimes all it takes is paying a little extra attention to what goes in our bodies.
