3 Foods to Help you Detox


Let's be honest with ourselves. We consume a lot of metaphorical garbage: processed sandwich meat with questionable origins, sugar-infused energy drinks that decompose your teeth faster than a fungal colony, and, of course, the occasional deep-fried doughnut. Ready for a change? Ready to detoxify your body? Here are three super-foods to help you do just that.

Cranberries—are great antioxidants. This means that they help battle molecules called "free radicals," which can cause damage to your cells. Try them dried in salads or in a low-sugar juice.

Garlic and Onions—Sure, you might need a few sticks of gum after consumption, but garlic and onions are rich in sulfuric compounds, and they manufacture their own anti-oxidants.

Water—There is no hope for detoxing if the pollutants are just sitting in your system. Consume 8-10 glasses of water a day to flush your body. Don't worry about having to rush to the bathroom; that's the goal.
