Natural Recipes for Body Detoxification

<h1>Natural Recipes for Body Detoxification</h1>Author: <a title="The Colon Cleansing & Constipation Resource Center" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/the-colon-cleansing-&-constipation-resource-center/13601.htm">The Colon Cleansing & Constipation Resource Center</a> Considering the living conditions of the modern era, it's easy to understand why toxins build up within the body so heavily. Environmental toxins found in pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fertilizers, fossil fuels, and other synthetic chemicals create an elixir of toxins bombarding us on a daily basis.

Unclean water, harsh household cleaners, and the prevalence of over-processed, artificial foods also contribute to the body's poisoning. For these reasons, it is sometimes necessary to engage in natural <a href="http://www.ghchealth.com/liver-and-gallbladder-flush.html">body toxin cleansing</a> to help the body purify itself and eliminate poisonous waste.

Due to the increase in chemicals applied to conventional foods, organic food is an increasingly wise option. In addition, Oxy-Powder® is an all-natural <a href="http://www.oxypowder.com">colon cleansing product</a> that cleanses body systems of waste and supports the digestive tract. Most people don't realize their digestive system is actually part of the immune response structure and is a key component in the body's fight against toxins.

Making the choice to eat well is a beneficial first step in the process of toxin cleansing. To truly purge the body's waste and support the cleansing systems (the lymphatic system, liver, intestines and blood), organic food choices are vital. Along with consuming primarily organic, whole foods, it is also wise to include food choices known for their natural detoxification effects.

A few of these organic, detoxifying foods include:

<ul><li>Broccoli</li><li>Other cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, asparagus, etc.)</li><li>Green vegetables</li><li>Fruits (berries and apples)</li><li>Onions</li><li>Garlic</li><li>Lemons</li><li>Broccoli sprouts</li><li>Liquids (green tea, pure water and algae drinks rich in enzymes) </li></ul>

Ultimate Detox Recipes

Easy Wilted Garlic-Sesame Salad — Toss dark, leafy greens in hot, garlic oil for a meal that cleanses the body’s chief detox organ, the liver.

Ingredients:

<ul><li>1 Tsp. olive oil</li><li>1 clove garlic, minced</li><li>1 lb. spinach, stemmed</li><li>or 1 lb. Swiss chard, stems sliced, leaves torn</li><li>or 1 lb. mixture of spinach and watercress</li><li>Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste</li><li>1 Tsp. sesame seeds for garnish</li></ul>

Avocado-Cucumber Spicy Spring Soup — A highly energizing soup for your cleansing regimen. This soup contains avocado (which is high in EFA’s) and cucumber (well known for its internal cleansing properties). The taste of this soup can be customized to your preference by the use of various herbs and spices or by alternating between lemon and lime.

Ingredients:

<ul><li>1 avocado</li><li>2 spring onions</li><li>1/2 red or green pepper</li><li>1 cucumber</li><li>2 handfuls of spinach</li><li>1/2 clove of garlic</li><li>Bragg Liquid Aminos™ to taste</li><li>100ml of light vegetable Bouillon (yeast free)</li><li>Juice of 1 lemon or lime</li><li>Optional: coriander, parsley, or cumin</li></ul>

Vegetable Super Juice — This juice is popular for breakfast due to its energy 'boost' effect. It gives your body a nutritious yet gentle start to the day.

Ingredients:

<ul><li>1 whole cucumber</li><li>4 sticks of celery</li><li>2 to 4 handfuls of spinach</li><li>8 lettuce leaves</li><li>Other varieties of lettuce as desired</li><li>Optional boosters: parsley and fresh alfalfa sprouts</li></ul>

Juice all ingredients and mix 50/50 with distilled water. Add optional lemon juice to taste and Prime pH to boost the alkalinity of the juice.

Healing Detox Juice — A sweeter, more subtle juice that still packs a nutritional punch! The combination of the carrots, spinach, and parsley provides an excellent source of antioxidants while the celery delivers nutritious cleansing properties.

Ingredients:

<ul><li>3 to 4 Carrots</li><li>125g Fresh Spinach</li><li>Handful of Flat Leaf Parsley</li><li>2 to 3 Sticks of Celery</li></ul>

Juice all the ingredients (putting celery through last as it is a bit acidic). Mix with water to thin it out or drink it plain.

Raw Broccoli Soup — Definitely a winter favorite and it ends the myth that all raw veggies have to be cold and boring! By steaming the broccoli for just 5 to 6 minutes, the meal remains raw enough to provide all the nutrients but adds enough warmth for that homemade soup flavor. The texture of the broccoli and the kick of the ginger also make this an excellent choice for those new to the concept of alkalizing (returning your body’s internal chemical state to a naturally alkaline balance).

Ingredients:

<ul><li>1/2 Avocado</li><li>6 to 8 Decent size Broccoli Heads</li><li>1/3 Red Onion</li><li>1 Celery Stick</li><li>Big Handful of Spinach</li><li>An Inch of Root Ginger</li><li>Optional: Bragg Liquid Amino, cumin</li></ul>

Consuming organic foods so as to obtain the most vitamins and minerals can greatly enhance your toxin cleansing efforts. All natural recipes such as these help the body receive the nutritional support it needs to maintain vital health and wellbeing!
