Incorporate detox superfoods to your daily diet whether you want to lose weight, feel more energised, improve your complexion or boost your mood, follow and use these ingredients to put you back on top for 2015.
Lemons
Kick-start digestion by stimulating the release of
enzymes and Vitamin C found in lemons. This zingy fruit converts toxins into a
water-soluble form that can be easily eliminated from the body and helps
stimulate the liver and purify the blood. Fresh lemon juice contains more than
20 anti-cancer compounds and helps balance the body's pH levels.
Watercress
Watercress is an excellent health-booster and detox
food. Its leaves are packed with vital detoxifying nutrients including several
B vitamins, zinc, potassium, vitamin E and vitamin C. It also has natural
diuretic properties which help flush toxins out of the body. Include it in your
diet by adding a handful of watercress to salads, soups and sandwiches.
Blueberries
These delicious berries contain natural aspirin
that helps lessen the tissue-damaging effects of chronic inflammation, while
lessening pain, and they have antiviral properties and are loaded with
super-detoxifying phytonutrients called proanthocyanidins.
Beets
An amazing source of healthy nutrients and
minerals, beets are superb fighters of infection, blood purifiers and liver
cleansers. They also help boost the body’s cellular intake of oxygen, making
them excellent overall body cleansers. Roast alongside other veg.
Artichoke
If you've been overindulging in fatty foods and
alcohol, adding some steamed globe artichoke leaves to your meals is a great
way to help get your body back on track. Globe artichokes are packed with
antioxidants and fibre and can also help the body digest fatty foods, as well
as improve the functions of the liver - the body's main toxin-fighting tool.
Cabbage
Cabbage cleanses the digestive tract and soothes
the stomach. It also contains numerous anti-cancer and antioxidant compounds
and helps the liver break down excess hormones.
Cranberries
These have powerful antibiotic and antiviral
substances to help the body cleanse harmful bacteria and viruses from the
urinary tract.
Flaxseeds and Flaxseed Oil
Loaded with essential fatty acids, particularly the
omega-3s, they are essential for many cleansing functions and maintaining a
healthy immune system.
Garlic
Fresh garlic has anti-cancer and antioxidant
properties that help detoxify the body of harmful substances, especially from
the blood and intestines. It's best eaten raw though, so crush some and add to
a salad dressing, or rub on toast and serve with fresh tomato, olive oil and a
pinch of salt, Catalonia-style.
Dark Leafy Greens
Leafy greens such as kale, chard and spinach help
the body get rid of environmental toxins like smog and herbicides and are
easily incorporated into your diet – eat them raw in salad, add to a broth, add
to juices or sauté them with a touch of olive oil.
