7 Recipes That Support

Detoxification

Why should you detox your diet?

Unfortunately, we live in a toxic world.

It’s nearly impossible to avoid ingesting chemicals,

pesticides, additives, preservatives and other toxic

elements in the air, water and food supply.

The good news is that the human body is designed to resist

damage from toxins. Once they enter into circulation in the

body, the liver — our body’s detoxification powerhouse —

works tirelessly to eliminate these harmful compounds.

So, what can you do to minimize your exposure?

Clean Eating

Choose whole, unprocessed foods. Avoid chemicals,

additives, preservatives and pesticides. Eliminate as many

toxins as possible by making educated choices.

Certain foods actually enhance the liver’s ability to clear

toxins from the body, such as cauliflower, which contains sulforaphane and other detoxifying sulfuric compounds.

To help give your body what it needs to function at its best,

be aware of what you eat, where it comes from and how it

was produced.
