What Foods Can Help Us Detox Our Bodies?

We can overwhelm our liver and its ability to pull toxins out of our body; yeast and parasites can inhabit our bowels; and secondhand smoke and air pollution can affect our lungs. So, about once every few months, or whenever I’m not feeling well, I go on a detoxification regimen. I like to cleanse my whole system through herb-spiked liquids, healing foods, and nutritional supplements.

Pure water may be the ultimate detoxifying flush for kidneys, liver, lungs, and bowels, but green tea is also excellent. Here is a list of my top 10 favorite detoxing foods:

Artichokes
Daikon radish
Chia seeds and flaxseeds
Garlic
Green tea
Leafy greens
Lemon
Rosemary
Sea Vegetables
Turmeric
