8. Detox Foods
 Cucumber:
 on average around 95% water, this veggie helps flush out toxins and
alkalize the body while delivering a powerful nutrient punch.
 Garlic:
 stimulates the liver to encourage production of detoxification enzymes.
 Broccoli:
 delivers a large dose of vitamins while neutralizing and eliminating
toxins.
 Lentils:
 extremely fiber-rich (1 cup cooked has 62.5% of your RDA!), lentils aids in
toxin elimination, lower cholesterol, and balance blood sugar.
 Turnip greens:
 loaded with antioxidants and sulfur-containing nutrients (Without sulfur,
the body cannot properly detoxify substances such as pharmaceuticals,
environmental toxins and heavy metals), turnip greens also contain
phytonutrients called glucosinolates that help activate and regulate
detoxification enzymes.
 Sunflower seeds:
 these little slivers of sunshine are not only high selenium and Vitamin E, but also
assist liver’s detoxing capabilities and prevent cholesterol build up in the blood and
arteries. Be sure to choose organic as their high fat and oil allows them to easily
soak up chemicals used in the production process.
 Walnuts:
 infuse the body with healthy omega-3 oils to assist detoxification.

10. Detox Foods
 Turmeric:
 stimulates liver function. (Also a great addition to your diet for all-around
health).
 Red pepper:
 when it comes to cleansing, vitamin C is one of the cream of the vitamin crop
because it transforms toxins into digestible material. One red pepper contains
about 3 times more vitamin C than an orange.
 Citrus fruits: see previous page.
 Grapefruit:
 a class of its own, grapefruit lowers cholesterol, prevents kidney stones and
aids the digestive system, which set it apart from the other citrus fruits.
 Watercress:
 keeps free radicals away from cells, energizes cleaning enzymes in the liver
and is a natural diuretic.
 Mung beans:
 used by Ayurvedic doctors for thousands of years, this easily digestible
bean absorbs toxic residue from the intestinal walls.
 Artichokes:
 chock-full of cynarin, which increases bile production and promotes healthy
digestion, full of nutrients and antioxidants, whole grains are
incredibly high in insoluble fiber, keeping you regular, which
is especially important while detoxing.
