As the title above says, you should make use of the
cleansers. Cleansers in this context mean foods and drinks which help eliminate
wastes and toxins from the body. Natural foods are preferred here over
proprietary products in order to detoxify the body. Foods high in fibre are especially useful in
excreting antigens from the body. The blood, liver, lungs, kidneys, arteries,
intestines and urinary tract all need to be kept clean and clear of any
substances interfering with their proper functions.
The following 14 foods can help to clear the body
of toxic substances for the reasons stated:
1. Garlic: cleans the lungs and intestines; has a
diuretic effect; and tones the heart and digestive organs.
2. Onions:
facilitate expectoration; are a powerful natural antibiotic; and
decongest respiratory passages.
3. Apples:
are rich in pectin which helps remove radioactive residues from the body;
help eliminate toxic build-up; and clean the intestines.
4. Cabbage:
cleanses the digestive tract; neutralises some of the damaging compounds found
in cigarette smoke; and strengthens the liver’s ability to detoxify the body.
5. Avocados:
open blood vessels; block toxicity affecting the arteries; and help the liver
detoxify the blood.
6. Lemons: lemon juice kills harmful bacteria; is useful for
combating liver attacks and angina; and aids digestion.
7. Watercress: the antioxidant levels in it help prevent cancer
of various body organs; gives relief from respiratory problems like bronchitis;
and can help with liver or kidney fatigue.
8. Grapefruit: the pectin in it cleanses the blood; helps
to excrete heavy metals from the body; it also contains antiviral compounds
which destroys harmful viruses in the body.
9. Kale:
the cleansing attributes of kale are very similar to those of cabbage as stated
above.
10. Seaweed: binds to radioactive waste and heavy metals and
helps to escort them from the body.
11. Celery:
is an excellent blood cleanser and contain many anti-cancer compounds
that help detoxify the body.
12. Cranberries: cleanse the body of bacteria and viruses
that may be lingering in the urinal tract.
13. Blueberries: counteract harmful bacteria and toxins in the
body.
14. Walnuts: contain high amounts of the amino acid
arginine, glutathione and omega 3 fatty acids which help detoxify and cleanse
the liver.
It is best to eat all fruit and vegetables raw as
cooking destroys a lot of their nutritive value. If you cook a vegetable like
cabbage by boiling it in water, then make sure, in addition to eating the
cooked cabbage, you drink the juice resulting as it contains lots of nutrients
displaced from the cabbage by the act of cooking.
The following three drinks help to cleanse the body
of wastes and toxins:
· Water: drinking 4-6 glasses of water daily cleanses
the whole system and flushes out any antigens from the body.
· Green
Tea: has plenty of antioxidants known as catechin, a compound which assists
liver function.
·
Dandelion Tea: has properties which aids the cleansing of the
liver and kidneys, and it also reduces water retention.
·
Lemon and Ginger Tea: aids digestion and increases blood flow.
Al the above can either be used individually or in
combination to detoxify the body. Keeping the vital organs clean and clear of
anything that interferes with their efficiency are measures which help prevent
diseases and health problems generally.
