Six detoxing food to keep you healthy!
As i mentioned
in my earlier blogs that the idea to start the blog was very simple i.e. i wanted
to keep a record of all my favourite food recipes in one place & definitely
to share with my audience.
Today , I would
be sharing the 6 natural & household foods that are known to detox our body
. Detoxification in our body is nothing but a process of eliminating all the
toxins accumulated over a period of time.
Human body is built to detox naturally through its various known ways . However the below
foods are known as natural
detoxifier.
To help you make a good start, I made a
list of cleansing foods and herbs that will leave you feeling lighter and
fresher within a week of including them in your diet.
1) Turmeric (Haldi)-
While recent
studies have hailed its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on the body, 'Ayurveda' has valued this spice for centuries for its staggering medicinal
properties.
What makes it relevant for those wishing to detox is its power to
help the liver get rid of harmful compounds.
Since the primary purpose of a
detoxification exercise is to support the organs of elimination like liver,
turmeric comes to the rescue and its antioxidants play a critical role in combating
the cell damage that can stack up with age.
So, a tablespoon of turmeric a day,
is enough to considerably set your insides right.
Take it with a cup of milk (half table spoon) & it can heal any kind of
internal wear & tear.
2) Apples
An apple a day keeps the doctor away-Packed with
fibre, and especially pectin which helps in cleansing the intestinal tract.
Apples can clear it of accumulated toxins and undigested food particles.

This
assumes more significance considering how essential it is to include a variety
of fibres in the diet to maximise detoxification.
3) Garlic
3) Garlic
Easily available in
every house hold. Known for its medicinal properties for a long time.
Garlic’s high sulphur content not only tones the skin and makes your hair more lustrous, it also fires up the detoxification process.
The liver must neutralise toxins with
sulphur until it is excreted in a process called sulfation.
To smoothen this
process, include more sulphur rich foods like garlic in your diet.
Three cloves
per meal should do you good. It is one of the natural remedy for vata rog-
4) Lemons
Always add some
fresh lemon juice to the (hot) water you
drink or the food you eat.
Lemon gets a lot of credit for warding off the cold,
but its ability to aid healthy digestion and elimination is often overlooked.
It helps in digestion as it encourages bile flow. Even its peels are
rich in antioxidants that support detoxification.
A cup of lemon tea with a
pinch of Ginger & black pepper & honey will give your immune system a
big boost while removing the toxins from your body.
5) Coriander

While the seed of coriander or cilantro plant can help digestion and maintain normal cholesterol levels.

A coriander chutney is not unknown to us. A must have in your
meals.
6) Broccoli
Having known as the healthiest foods, these crucifers play their part in internal cleansing & detoxification.

possess properties that help detoxify the ‘bad’ oestrogens in the body.
