Spring has started in full swing, summer is just around the corner, and many healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables have arrived at the markets and store shelves. Many people take care of spring cleaning during this period – we should do the same with our body. We advise how to cleanse yourself of harmful toxins that linger in the body and worsen your well-being!
Proper cleansing of the body is, of course, a long-term process – it is best to eat healthy throughout the year, not just in the coming summer. However, if we want to perform immediate cleansing, we should choose a weekend to start removing toxins. The entire detox should last from 7 to 14 days, depending on your needs. The maximum detox time is 6 weeks, which is about 40 days. Here are the foods to eat and drink while cleansing your body:
- Garlic – supports the removal of harmful bacteria and yeast, because it has a strong antibacterial effect. Garlic contains sulfur compounds that will help in the production of glutathione,
- Algae – i.e. nori, wakame, dulse, kelp. They have a lot of iodine, which supports the regulation of metabolism. In addition, they contain alkalizing minerals such as potassium, magnesium and calcium, as well as valuable chlorophyll,
- pomegranate fruit – anthocyanins are antioxidants that protect our body from inflammation, damage, and also have a rejuvenating and well-being effect. You will find them in pomegranate fruit – it is thanks to them that its grains have a ruby color,
- Apples – rich in soluble and insoluble fibre. They act on the body like a broom, removing toxins from it through the digestive system,
- Quinoa – it does not acidify the body, has a lot of protein, is as nutritious as meat, and at the same time much healthier. The amino acid lysine present in it is an ingredient necessary for tissue regeneration,
- Avocado – rich in fibre, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats,
- Lemon – Start your day with a glass of lemon water. Provides vitamin C, alkalizes, supports bowel function, provides bioflavonoids,
- Arugula – contains sulforaphane, which has amazing anti-cancer potential. The ingredients contained in it have a protective effect on the eyesight and have a rejuvenating effect on the body,
- White cabbage – practically no calories, and has valuable nutrients: antioxidants, vitamin C and K. It is best to eat it raw, in the form of salads and juices,
- Linseed – a must-have for detoxification. Flaxseed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and lignans. You will remove everything from the body that we want to get rid of.
