Foods That Detoxify - A Simple Recipe to Naturally Detoxify Your Body

We get a chance at every meal to help our bodies get rid of substances and debris that can harm our health in untold ways.

This is good news for you if you want to be empowered by a natural formula to detoxify your body.

Detoxify

If you are ready to open up your natural cure attitude, you will enjoy this simple smoothie. These are nature's foods that detoxify and have been used for centuries.

To make this a special caring event for you, give yourself some time to pick up all the natural ingredients for this smoothie at the grocery store. One trip will last for smoothies for the whole week of detoxifying your body systems.

Here are some facts about the ingredients. This smoothie contains fresh papaya which has rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids. Papaya also has B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid plus the minerals, potassium and magnesium. It is a good source of fiber...

So how is this going to detoxify your body systems? They will protect your nutrient bearing cardiovascular system. But most importantly provide antioxidants that scavenger up your colon invaders and even protect you from colon cancer. In addition, papaya contains the digestive enzyme, papain, which aids in dissolving unwanted debris in your colon.

Making this simple effort will regulate your bowels and clean away dead tissues from your body. Look forward to having regular bulky stools, a sign of good bowel cleansing.

Another fruit that will fight for you in this manner is pineapple.

Pineapple has a weapon in its enzyme, bromolain that destroys invaders.

What every body needs on a continuous basis is to keep excellent antioxidant protection and immune support. This smoothie has the ingredients to do just that.

Another powerhouse in this smoothie is fresh parsley. This often overlooked food is an excellent source of help to increase the water-soluble antioxidant capacity of the blood, and detoxifying it.

This will have a stabilizing effect on most of your body systems especially your colon. Parsley will also increase your vitamin A and C capacity giving you the edge in colon detoxifying support.

Along with these, there is celery, fortified orange juice, coconut milk and ginger to increase cleansing capacity to calm your colon and reduce any inflammation.

Buy a whole fresh pineapple. Some grocery stores sell whole peeled pineapple. Slice the pineapple into ½ inch slices and freeze. Slice the papaya into 1 inch cubes and freeze. Buy a fresh piece of ginger and keep in a heavy brown paper bag in the fridge.

When ready to use, peel the ginger with a spoon instead of a knife. Wash and rinse the parsley, trim the stems and keep covered with plastic wrap, in a glass jar filled with water in the fridge. Use low sugar, calcium and vitamin D fortified orange juice. Buy canned coconut milk without sugar. Remove from the can pour in a glass jar and keep in the fridge.

Pineapple Detox Smoothie
To prepare the smoothie
1 slice frozen pineapple
2-3 cubes of papaya
1 handful of parsley leaves (about 1/2 cup)
I stalk of celery cut into pieces
1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger
1/2 cup fortified orange juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup coconut milk
Pour all ingredients in a high powered blender.

Blend at a low speed then gradually increases to high power, continue blending until smooth. Pour into a tall glass and drink immediately with a straw. This makes one smoothie.

Your body is depending on you to eat the fresh food that it needs to do its job to protect and cleanse your organ systems. Adopt a new habit of making a smoothie like this on a daily basis. The best news is that your body deserves the synergistic effect of whole foods over extracted and process food and isolated vitamins. Don't forget to notice how well you feel.

The Best Way to Cleanse Your Arteries Naturally

If you have been researching natural artery cleansing then you are probably aware of the supplements that you can add to your daily regimen to help cleanse your arteries of plaque buildup. Vitamin C, garlic and CoQ10 are just a few that have been proven to help lower your cholesterol and cleanse your arteries. But these supplements are not the only way to clean out those arteries. Read on to discover some very important information that will help you get rid of that plaque buildup that is putting you at a high risk for a stroke or heart attack.

To really cleanse your arteries the natural way, you have got to change some bad habits. Your arteries have become clogged because of the types of food you have chosen to eat over the years. You need to distinguish the difference between good fats and bad fats. Good fats are the fats found in foods like nuts, flax seed, virgin olive oil, olives, avocados and fresh water fish. These fats actually work with your body to lower your cholesterol and stop the plaque from forming in your arteries.

Cleanse

But the problem lies in the fact that the list of bad fats is a lot longer than the list of good fats. Almost all foods that are found in the grocery stores today contain bad fats. The reason is because a lot of the food is now processed to extend the shelf life. This makes sense for the economy and for the food industry. But it is dangerous for the consumer.

These processed foods contain hydrogenated oils. Hydrogenated oils are oils that are artificially processed. These oils are found in every baked, fried and sometimes frozen item found on the store shelves. Hydrogenated oils are responsible for plaque build up in your body because your body cannot metabolize these artificially produced oils.

So how do you keep these dangerous oils out of your diet? Simple, learn to read the labels of everything you buy. If the ingredients contain the words "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" then you should not eat it.

Lack of exercise is a big contributor to plaque buildup also. When you exercise, you will have more blood flowing through your arteries which will help to open them up and help keep plaque from forming. Exercise will also help you lose weight and make you feel better and more energized throughout the day.

So while it is a great idea to use natural supplements to cleanse your arteries, it is equally important that you change the bad habits that clogged your arteries in the first place. Change your diet, drink plenty of water and get more exercise. All of these things will work together to produce squeaky clean arterial walls and lower your risk for life threatening diseases.

Five Simple And Cheap Ways To Detox Your Body Naturally

Yes, it's now time to give some attention to your beautiful and very clever body. Without any added stresses such as fatty foods, bad diets, excess sugar, chemicals, toxins, environmental pollution and your own "mental miss use" such as stress (which is highly toxic as it releases free radicals which accelerates aging) your body could quite efficiently detox itself via the skin (your largest organ) along with other key organs and circulatory systems.

However in the world we live today our bodies need all the extra support they can get for the efficient removal of harmful toxins.

Detoxify

Rather than give you an extensive list which can be overwhelming I felt it best to highlight five potent habits which are simple yet highly effective in detoxing your body naturally. Firstly, I'm keen to share my personal favourite.

Body brushing rocks:

I'm in love with body brushing and have been for years. It was when visiting my iridologist years ago he detected that my skin was not breathing at all. Even though my skin look perfectly fine to me, dead skin cells were invisibly lying on its surface blocking the elimination of toxins. This then put more pressure on my internal organs. Way back then the concept of my skin breathing was a total life changing awakening for me.

I immediately began giving full attention not just to my face and hands but to my entire skin covering my body. It soon started to breathe and detox with joy. The most obvious difference personally was increased energy levels.

Both sweating through the skins pores and dry or wet body scrubbing are fabulous ways for the skin to assist the body in detoxing naturally.

Five simple ways to detox your body naturally:

1. Dry body brushing:

It's easy, takes no more than five minutes before you shower and anyone can do it. Buy a brush mit or body brush (long brush is good so you can reach all the tricky places) from any health food store and give your entire body the attention, cleansing and stimulation it deserves.

Before you get into the shower or bath start by scrubbing the skin with gentle circular motions. This supports:

* removing dead skin cells

* unblocking pores

* stimulation of your lympathic system (very important)

* helps your skin breathe which in turn can oxygenate the body

In addition to a gentle circular motion you can vigorously scrub the skin which helps with cellulite and the removal of toxins at a deeper level.

2. Drinks lots of water:

Yes, I know boring, tricky for me to do in Winter but quite easy to manage in Summer when I tend to be thirster more often.

Drink as much fresh water as you can. Water flushes unwanted toxins from your body and keeps your brain sharp. Foggy thinking sets in when you are dehydrated.

Soft drinks, teas and coffees are not a substitute for water.

To make sure I remind myself to have lots of water during the day I have three glass water bottles. One beside my bed, one I take in the car and the other one beside the computer. I often leave one beside my handbag simply to remind me to take it with me when I'm going out. Even if I'm only going out for five minutes I'll still take it with me to keep the momentum flowing.

3. Focus on your breath:

The majority of people walking around this planet today have forgotten to breathe. Breathing can quickly make your thinking excited or calm, tense or relaxed, gentle and clear. Deep, slow and conscious breathing is the key to oxygenating your lungs, bloodstream, heart and whole brain.

Correct breathing (slow and deep) supports the removal of an enormous amount of carbon dioxide from your lungs and toxic gases from your body. It's also useful to imagine all stress, worries and laziness being released from your body as you exhale.

Opportunities to focus on your breathe throughout your day:

1. Before you get out of bed

2. Before you drive off in your car

3. Whilst sitting at your computer periodically during the day

4. Before you begin cooking

4. Sweat once a day:

Sweating regenerates your skin and helps detox the body. Living in a humid climate as I do in Queensland, Australia doesn't require much effort in getting the body to sweat. Couple this with drinking lots of water and you are well on the way to simply detoxifying your body. A sauna is another easy way to sweat with minimal effort on your part.

However exercise until you sweat is the ultimate way to detox the body as there are many many benefits with the physical work out as well.

Bikram yoga which I must admit to have not yet tried but have many friends that do is another option for allowing the body to sweat naturally. A bikram yoga class room is heated to 37 degrees (around the same temperature as our bodies temperature) and gives you the cleansing and detoxing benefits of a sauna along with the cleansing and detoxing benefits of certain yoga poses.

Here is a short youtube video on Bikram yoga in action.

5. Stretch:

Stretching improves blood circulation and releases toxins from your body. It is through my yoga practice, particularly the body twists which gently encourage the internal organs to release toxins. If you have never done yoga before I highly recommend it.

If getting to a yoga, tai chi, dance or stretch class is difficult there are lots of fabulous DVD's that you can buy for use in your own home or search you tube to learn more about stretching sequences you can do in your own home.

Thanks for reading my article.

Peace, love and lots of healthy bodies to you all, Carole.
