Say buh-bye to chemicals and impurities with these detox foods, and hello to a healthier you!
16. Avocados
Don’t let an avocado’s high fat content and buttery consistency fool you into thinking it’s off-limits! In fact, the vegetable’s heart-healthy monosaturated fat plays a huge role in eliminating toxins. It promotes the release of bile from the gallbladder and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Enjoy the prized detox food by trying this delicious Guacamole Verde or this delicious recipe for No-Cook 5 Minute Chocolate Pudding.
17. Garlic
Garlic has sulfur-containing compounds that fight harmful bacteria and yeast in the intestines. These compounds help your body eliminate certain toxins. Chopping or crushing the garlic will help release the sulfur compounds. Try One-Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta.
18. Seaweed
Sneaking some seaweed into your diet is a simple way to cleanse your system. This ocean vegetable contains nutrients that attach to harmful chemicals like lead and cadmium and escort them outside the body.
19. Pineapple
Fresh pineapple gives your taste buds a tropical burst. The candy-sweet fruit contains a powerful digestive enzyme called bromelian. Bromelian is proven to help digest protein, break down fats, and reduce inflammation. Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken is super easy to prepare and it’s kid friendly.
20. Ginger
Kick your detox into high gear and rejuvenate your system with this nutritional powerhouse. Besides curbing cravings and aiding in weight loss, ginger in your diet can spike your metabolism and flush out waste. Garlic Ginger Green Beans is a delicious way to detox.
