You will obviously be including a lot of fruit and vegetables along with whole grains and other healthy foodstuff in your detox plan. I would also urge you to get a juicer so you can have nutrient rich foods to help your body detoxify quicker.
Include juices which use raw beetroot, carrot, apple and celery. This kind of juice is the ultimate detoxifier. Take the humble beetroot for example, this is a renowned blood detoxifier. It is also great for cleansing the liver and digestive-tract. An excellent intestinal cleanser it is rich in biotin, a water-soluble B-vitamin that is required for metabolizing proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It also sweetens the juice and tastes great.
Carrots also help with detoxing. They help the liver, kidneys and digestive processes. They also help if your digestion is slow and with fluid retention and are a great aid in reducing bloating. Organic carrots are quite a reasonable price, so go for organic if possible. If not, you may have to peel the carrots to get rid of any pesticides. There is also a solution you can use to soak your vegetables before washing which also help to get rid of any pesticides. This can be picked up from your local health store. I have also read that vinegar also helps to get rid of chemicals - you will probably have to give the vegetables a good rinse if you decide to go this route and soak your fruit and vegetables for a couple of minutes before juicing, or else your juice may also include the taste of vinegar!
If you have a blender there are many smoothie recipes which are full of healthful benefits and tastes great. If you have a Smoothie that includes strawberries, raspberries and blueberries you will be getting a bundle of vitamins and minerals. These berries are packed with antioxidants and will help rid your body of damaging free radicals that are harmful to the body. There are many smoothie recipes on the internet which you can include in your detox plan.
