Detox Your Body With Superfoods

Detoxing your body is vital for any diet plan or life change. This is especially true, if you have been eating a poor diet and not exercising for some time. When you start the detox you may be looking at simply doing a juicing or something similar. The trick to this, if you choose to do it, is to stick to fruits and vegetables for your juicing that are based in superfoods. This will give you the biggest bang for your time and will help detox your body in many ways. Here are some of those superfoods.

Lemon

Lemon is a hands down must have if you are trying to detox your body with superfoods. Lemon is loaded with vitamins and can help deliver antioxidants to the body. When drank as a warm tea in the morning, by mixing with water you can boost your metabolism which will help you drop the weight. It can also be used as an appetite suppressant. It also gives a boost of natural energizer.

Green Tea

Green tea is something you can easily add to your juices and detox. It has multiple benefits as a superfood and is used commonly in weight loss and Asian based weight loss plans. You can choose to brew the green tea and add it, use it in a very pure form of matcha powder added to your juices or smoothies, and use it as a straight tea mixed with juice. Green tea also helps with liver function and cleansing which is essential in detoxing.

Beetroot

Beetroot can be easily added to both fruit and vegetable based juices. It has a slightly sweet flavor so it can mix easily. If you are making a vegetable based juice you can add not only the beetroot, you can also add the beet greens for an added boost. The beetroot can cleanse the liver and the colon. You can look at this superfood as a sort of all-purpose cleansing superfood that delivers your body vitamins and nutrients as well as flushing out the bad and built up toxins in your system.

Oranges

Oranges are known for their immune boosting properties and assistance as a superfood. It goes without saying that during a detox you will need to boost your immune system as much as possible. Though considered by some to be a superfood and others to simply be a vitamin packed fruit, it is still something to consider as part of your normal detox plan and juicing.

Remember, you want to get the biggest dose of superfoods you can per juice session. You can do this with fresh fruit and vegetables as well as adding capsules and powders.
