Best Detoxifying Foods

What are the best detoxifying foods? Below is a list of some foods you may want to consider adding to your diet on a regular basis. With all the contaminants that we breath, eat, drink and absorb through our skin, it’s a good idea to detox. Natural foods used for detoxing is a good idea. Here are some of the the best detoxifying foods to eat.

Cilantro: Excellent for detoxing mercury, which has permeated our environment to the point where it is even in most of our teeth as amalgam fillings. Raw organic cilantro can be chopped up and sprinkled on almost any food serving. 

It can be juiced along with carrots, other veggies, and apples and used in green smoothies. Cilantro’s mercury detox power was first discovered among Indonesian clinical patients fed cilantro soup.

Chlorella: Many consider this super food, combined with cilantro, as the ultimate heavy metal detoxifier derived from foods.

Best Detoxifying Foods

 

Garlic: A natural antibiotic and promoter of liver enzymes that aid detoxification. It’s best to chew raw or squeeze raw cloves into or onto freshly prepared foods.

Broccoli sprouts: Most readers know broccoli, along with other cruciferous vegetables, has cancer prevention properties. But broccoli sprouts are better at stimulating those toxin filtering enzymes in the liver.

Omega-3 oils: Besides helping to prevent chronic inflammation, these oils help lubricate the intestinal walls. This serves to capture and help eliminate toxins from the gastrointestinal tract. Avocado (technically a fruit), ground hemp or flax seeds or oils, and pure virgin olive oil are recommended.

Papaya: A useful detox addition to your diet. Eat the seeds as well.

Lemon or lime water: Mixed with warm water and consumed first thing in the morning is an old liver cleansing remedy that is still recommended by naturopaths and others today.

Mung beans: Purchase bulk, raw, dry and organic, of course. Cooked, they are easy to digest and tend to absorb and help eliminate GI tract toxins.

Beets: Helps purify the blood.

Eliminate alcohol, processed white flour and sugar completely. Use only pure sea salt for seasoning. Raw leafy vegetables should be juiced or blended for green smoothies as often as possible. Add raw carrots and raw beets to your juicing efforts.

Vitamin C: Kiwifruit is a rich source of Vitamin C. The vitamin C content in kiwi is twice as much as in oranges. Studies suggest,

Kiwi Health Facts-Nutritional Value Kiwi

a kiwi a day is sufficient to meet the needed Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). Also the content of vitamin C in it confers protective effect against the respiratory disorders like asthma. A study published in the April 2004 issue of Thorax found out that, children eating the most citrus and kiwifruit (5-7 servings per week) had 44% less incidence of wheezing when compared to children eating the least (less than once a week).

Potassium: Kiwi as bananas are rich in potassium. When compared to bananas, this fruit is low in calories. The low content of calories makes it low in sodium which is beneficial for a healthy heart. Sodium maintains the blood pressure thus preventing you from cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin E: All of us know that foods rich in vitamin E are high in fats also. But, kiwi is one fruit that is a rich source of vitamin E with low fat content. Vitamin E makes it filled with antioxidants and healthy heart properties.

Folic Acids: Kiwifruit is a rich source of folic acid. It should be consumed by women before and during pregnancy. Folic acids prevent neural defects in babies and supplies sufficient vitamins to the pregnant woman. Once your baby starts growing it helps them in the development of brain and prevents from cardiovascular diseases.

Fiber: According to a research, the diet that is rich in fiber helps in treating constipation and inflammation of pouches in the digestive tract. Dietary fiber lowers your cholesterol level and reduce your risk of coronary heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Fiber also lowers the blood sugar level thus, reducing the risk of diabetes. It also adds bulk to your diet and makes you feel full faster. A fruit to stay full and lose weight too!

Zinc: The content of zinc present in kiwifruit helps men produce testosterone. Zinc also has other healthy benefits on skin, hair, teeth and nails.

Natural Weed Control For Lawns-How To Control Dandelions

If your looking for methods of natural weed control for lawns, specifically dandelions, here are a few methods you might want to try. I always advocate the use of natural methods over harsh chemicals which destroy our planet and ultimately our health.

In Canada, many cities and municipalities and provinces, including Ontario and Quebec have banned the lawn chemicals that

Natural Weed Control For Lawns-How To Control Dandelions

are effective against dandelions. In the US, activists are working towards similar bans, so you may have no choice about learning to use other methods of control.
Some of the following alternatives are more effective and more practical than others, and, of course, everything depends on the size of your property. You can’t hand-weed acres.

Hand-weeding: This alternative is very practical to control dandelions on small properties, and you can do it any time of year. The job is easier to do after a rain or lawn watering when the soil is moist.

The tool you need is a weeding knife, which you insert alongside the dandelion root. Rotate or pry the knife to loosen the root so you can easily pull the entire dandelion plant out, roots and all. This works well in flower beds. There are also a number of weeders on the market with long handles that you can use for dandelions in the lawn without stooping.

Vinegar herbicides: Acetic acid or vinegar concentrations which are stronger than household vinegar can be used as natural weed killers to dehydrate and weaken plants. The downside is that vinegar may not kill dandelions with just one application, and must be sprayed only on the plants you want to kill. If you spray it all over your lawn, you will damage the grass.

Propane weeding torch: This tool burns off the top of the plant, but usually needs more than one application to be successful with tough plants like dandelions. Generally it doesn’t kill off the root, which means the plant can re-grow.

Corn gluten meal: This is a natural product that prevents germination of weed seeds, including crabgrass and dandelions. It is not effective with established dandelions, but it will slow down and prevent germination of new ones. Turf grass researchers have found that consistent use of corn gluten meal over a number of seasons greatly reduces lawn weed populations.

Corn gluten is also a fertilizer containing 8 to 10 percent nitrogen, which means that it also helps keep turfgrass thick and vigorous so weeds can’t easily get a foothold.

Apply corn gluten in early spring about the time that forsythia and daffodils are in bloom. One caution: this product will prevent grass seed from germinating, so don’t use it if you are overseeding or putting down grass seed.

Mowing: Never scalp your lawn. For fewer weed problems, set your mower high, to at least 3 inches or 3 ½ inches.

Stir before each use as this soap does separate. Detergent can be stored in a liquid detergent bottle. Just shake it up each time you use it.
