Turmeric

Turmeric has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on the body that play a critical role in combating the cell damage. So, a tablespoon of turmeric a day is enough to considerably set your insides right.

Lemons

Lemon gets a lot of credit for warding off the cold, but its ability to aid healthy digestion is often overlooked. It may be the lemon’s tart taste that encourages bile flow which further helps in the process of digestion. Even its peels are rich in antioxidants that support detoxification.

Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds can help keep many diseases at bay and its mix of nutrients helps in internal cleansing. Sprinkle a few tablespoons into your morning smoothie or salad.

Coriander

While the seed of coriander or the cilantro plant aid in the process of digestion and maintain the normal cholesterol levels, the leaves are said to detoxify heavy metals like lead and mercury that can accumulate in the body over time. So go ahead and throw a handful of coriander into salads, or as garnish on cooked vegetables, dals and curries.

Broccoli

Broccoli releases a nutrient known to possess properties that help detoxify the ‘bad’ estrogens in the body. One small cup of broccoli a day can fight them off, keeping you safe from weight gain, PMS and even cancer.

Beetroot

Beetroot is loaded with plant pigments that are known to have antioxidant and liver-supporting abilities. Start your day with a glass of beetroot juice and cleanse your insides.

Loaded with antioxidants that strengthen your immune system, it can help prevent disease like cancer. White tea can simultaneously boost lipolysis (the breakdown of fat) and block adiposeness (the formation of fat cells).

Tomatoes

Include tomatoes in your diet for an amazing detoxification of your system. The red pigment that provides tomatoes with its red color is a strong antioxidant that aids health benefits. It wards off skin damage from the inside out.

Sunflower seeds

The sunflower seeds make a healthy and filling addition to any diet, serving up a fair share of magnesium, a mineral that keeps blood pressure normal, maintains a steady heart rhythm and helps boost lipolysis, a process by which the body releases fat from its stores.

Detox waters

Certain fruits have detoxifying properties in their flesh and peels like orange, lemon, sweet lemon, pineapple, kiwi and strawberries, so slice them whole into your water to reap the benefits with an infusion of flavour. This is a great boost to your liver and it can help you feel good all day due to its alkaline properties. It’s also effective in lowering the blood sugar levels and for getting the body’s metabolism back on the track.

Green tea
