Would you like more energy, improved digestion, clearer skin and increased concentration? Detoxification may just be the answer.

When people think of detoxification, they commonly think of a one-week or 30-day herbal cleanse program that includes a restricted diet and supplementation. Although doing a detox like this is recommended once or twice a year in the spring and/or fall, it’s not the only way to detoxify. Interestingly, detoxification is a natural process regularly occurring in the body. Your liver is your body’s primary detox organ, and with over 500 functions, it’s imperative to keep it working well.
Luckily, you can easily support your liver and other detox organs daily by eating a detox-friendly diet.

Check out our top 10 list of detoxifying foods:

Lemons: Well known for their detoxifying abilities, lemons gently stimulate the liver and aid digestion.
Beets: Packed with phytonutrients and minerals such as iron and calcium, beets are excellent blood cleansers and aid with the elimination of toxins.
Artichokes: Chockfull of antioxidants, artichokes help with liver function and assist with the detoxification process.
Broccoli: This cruciferous veggie is useful for helping to convert toxins to harmless substances that can be eliminated.
Garlic: Boasting antimicrobial properties, this immune booster helps to cleanse the body of harmful substances.
Ginger: Excellent for digestion, ginger also helps to flush toxins from the body.
Cilantro: This flavourful herb is especially efficient at binding to toxic heavy metals and eliminating them from the body tissues.
Dandelion: Definitely a favourite for your liver, dandelion is a detox superhero that helps to strengthen your liver.
Apples: Rich in nutrients and packed with fibre, apples help to pull toxins out through the intestinal tract.
Asparagus: Not only does antioxidant-rich asparagus work to neutralize harmful chemicals, it also helps prevent the liver from getting bogged down, allowing it to efficiently detoxify the body.

Incorporating more of these detoxifying and liver-friendly foods in your diet is an excellent way to encourage natural detoxification, so that you can achieve optimal health and vitality.
