The liver is the most important detox organ in your body and as such should be treated with tender loving care during a detox diet program
. There are many ways to do this but you may find that some are more acceptable than others for your own personal tastes.
Each one of the liver detox foods below will serve to cleanse and act as a tonic for the liver. If you want to include all of these in your detox diet that's fine but you must take at least two each day. You can vary the ones you take but make sure you have at least two:
Eat a medium bunch of red grapes.
Eat a fresh garlic clove (in your food, not on its own). Or take an odorless garlic tablet every day - a high dose tablet is best.
Drink a medium glass of either pure carrot or pure beetroot juice (or mix the two). You can make the juice yourself (if you have a juicer) or buy fresh juices from health food shops.
Drink two cups of fennel or dandelion tea.
Kidney Detox Tips
The other major detox organ is the kidneys. The kidneys balance the body's fluid levels, acidity and alkalinity. Each of the following will boost your kidneys and help the overall program. Again, you may vary your choice but you must have two per day:
Have a teaspoon of fresh honey in a cup of hot water. Sip it slowly.
Drink a medium glass of freshly squeezed cranberry juice (you may wish to add some honey to sweeten) or take a cranberry tablet supplement. NB: Fresh cranberries are generally only available in the winter months, so you may find it easier to take the supplement the rest of the year.
Eat a large handful of fresh blackcurrants or drink a glass of fresh blackcurrant juice.
Eat a handful of dried apricots.
Take Kelp Supplements Every Day
Kelp is good for speeding up your metabolic rate and will also help maintain a continuous process of detoxification. Tablets should usually be taken with meals, but follow the instructions provided with your chosen brand. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. If there is a choice, take the maintenance level.
