Everyday activity, exposure to pollution, consumption of fast food and a sedentary lifestyle make you vulnerable to ill health thanks to the constant exposition to toxic content. One of the most common threats from toxic impacts of the world around you is ill health that can wind up striking you down. The best way to keep these negative influences at bay is to indulge in a detoxification, and what better way to achieve that than to take on detoxification diets, or, to add foods that detoxify to your diet? Here is a list of foods that can help you detoxify easily!

Water: The most underestimated necessity, water and tonnes of it is important for the body not only from a standpoint of hydration, but also from the standpoint of flushing out toxins and keeping the body in good health. Drinking a glass of warm water in the morning is a brilliant way to start the day, since it cleanses your system before you start your day!

Turmeric: The inherent antioxidant property in turmeric has a healing effect on the body. It helps the liver get rid of harmful elements, and encourages the rebuilding of injured tissues in the body. Turmeric is also a powerful anti inflammatory agent and is helpful in keeping bloating at bay.

Fibrous foods: Banana stem, apples and other fibrous foods are of immense significance in ensuring that your body detoxifies. By digesting fibre, your digestive system is kicked into overdrive and begins to clear out all the accumulated toxins and undigested food particles, and also stimulates detoxification in the intestinal tract.
Flaxseeds are also extremely valuable sources of fibre and prevent the re-absorption of cholesterol from the colon.

Garlic and Onions: High in sulphur, garlic and onions make your skin and hair healthy and reduces the impact of toxins that come from your digestion process. The liver neutralises toxins by using sulphur, and all these toxins are excreted in a process called sulfation.

Lime and lemon: Adding lime to your dishes makes you balance the acidity content in your stomach. While inherently acidic, the moment it reacts with your saliva, lime and lemons turn alkaline, and encourage bile flow, to help the process of digestion.

Coriander: Coriander is a powerful detoxifier since it balances out the cholesterol levels in the body, and helps to detoxify heavy metals like lead and mercury that can accumulate in the body over time.

Beetroots and Carrots: Both of these vegetables are rich in pigments that lend them a capacity to be strong and powerful antioxidants. They are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and the best way to enjoy them is by juicing up the vegetables along with their greens for maximum health benefits.
