Detoxification is the removal of toxic substances in our body. This may sound so vague to you. You might be thinking about taking some cleansing medicine. Well, I have another alternative for you. They are detox foods that contain cleansing agents. Eating clean will give you a fresh start.

* Green Leafy vegetables- I love these vegetables, especially
* “Malunggay”. I know malunggay has cleansing effects to our body. It can even heal a wound. Eat the green leafy vegetables raw, throw them into a broth, and add them to juices. Their chlorophyll helps mop out ecological toxins (heavy metals, pesticides) and protects the liver.
* Lemons – It contains vitamin C- the detox vitamin. It helps convert the toxics to a water soluble substance so it can easily be flushed away.
* Green Tea- I love tea. This antioxidant-rich brew is one of the healthiest ways to get more fluids into your system. It contains catechin that speed up liver activities
* Broccoli sprouts – They are 20 to 50 times more cancer-fighting, enzyme-stimulating activity into each bite than the grown-up vegetable.
* Cabbage – There are two main types of detoxifying enzymes in the liver; this potent veggie helps activate both of them. I love cabbage so much, may it be raw or cooked.
* Fruits – rich in vitamin C, fiber, nutritious fluids, and all kinds of antioxidants.
* Garlic – it gives benefits to cardio or heart, it activates liver enzymes that help filter out junk. I really love garlic. I don’t know if I can eat without it. Hehe just teasing. I love roasted garlic. It is so mouthwatering.
