These ten foods will help cleanse and detox your body, making you look and feel more beautiful.
1. green leafy vegetables - Chlorophyll is a powerful way to rid your body of toxins. Raw vegetables are best, but cooked ones are good too. Chop them into salads, toss them in soups, throw them in a juicer.
2. lemons - full of vitamin C, lemons are a natural detoxifier. They help clarify your body’s fluids and are also great for soothing a soar throat.
3. watercress - tasty in salads and sandwiches, watercress is rich in minerals and is a natural diuretic.
4. garlic - add spice to your life with garlic, perhaps nature’s most beneficial food. Not only does it ward off vampires, it softens up the stuff that clogs your arteries and helps it pass through your system.
5. green tea - rich in antioxidants, hot brewed green tea helps keep your liver healthy.
6. broccoli sprouts - a super cancer fighter, even more so than broccoli itself.
7. sesame seeds - protects the liver from invaders like alcohol. A tasty way to enjoy it is in tahini.
8. cabbage - it may be stinky but it sure is good for your liver. Try it cooked or in cole slaw.
9. psyllium - a soluble fiber that fights toxins and helps rid your body of cholesterol. You can buy it powdered in your health food store or find it in some bran cereals.
10. fruit - we can’t say enough about the benefits of fruit. Delicious and nutricious. Full of vitamins, fiber, fluids, antioxidants, and flavor. And no, fruit rollups do not count.

It so nice to know that sometimes the simplest things such as eating healthy foods can improve both health and beauty. I actually like mostly everything on this list except the psyllium.
