Most people live in a fast-paced world, always in a rush with barely enough time to carefully follow a healthy diet. As a result, we mindlessly stuff our bodies with foods that cause a lot of harm and put pressure on our organs. It might be working for now, but it will definitely come back to haunt us one day.

Trends made a list of healthy foods you can easily incorporate into your daily diet that will naturally detox and cleanse your body from the toxins we are exposed to daily. How many of these do you already have on your menu?

10. Beetroot

10 Everyday Healthy Foods That Will Naturally Detox and Cleanse Your Body

This highly beneficial root contains iron, calcium, and a type of antioxidant called betaine, which is a plant pigment responsible for the distinctive red color. Betaine improves cell structure and repairs and regenerates the cells in our liver (the body’s main detox center). The liver defends your body from all the toxins you are exposed to, so adding a natural detoxifying vegetable will help a lot.

Tip: Steam or boil the reddish bulb with its skin to keep all the vital nutrients. Baking and roasting are also delicious options for a side dish. Using raw beets for a healthy smoothie is becoming more popular around the world. You can also grate them (raw) for a salad.

9. Onion and Garlic

Both contain flavonoids that help in the production of glutathione, one of the liver’s strongest antioxidants. They stimulate the liver to produce detoxification enzymes that filter toxic residues from the digestive system. In addition, they take some of the burden off this hardworking organ and have powerful antibacterial, antiparasitic, and immune-boosting properties.

Tip: Any detox diet must include these 2 ingredients. Raw or fried garlic can be a great addition to a salad. A homemade roasted garlic spread with a healthy cracker is a great detoxifying snack for your busy day.

8. Greens

Dark leafy greens give your digestive tract a detoxifying boost of chlorophyll. This plant pigment is responsible for the consumption of light in the process of photosynthesis, which creates energy. But besides this, it has the ability to connect with toxins and other free radicals to turn them into neutral materials. It also cleans the heavy metals that accumulate in our body.

Chlorophyll also has anti-inflammatory properties, and they alkalize the body to help get rid of the acidity of bodily fluids.

Tip: Modern foods are high in acidity, so make sure your kitchen is full of spinach, kale, wheatgrass, and other organic dark leafy greens. Add wheatgrass to your smoothies or juices. Make a delicious spinach soup, or roast kale with olive oil and spices for your pizza kale chips.
