Nowadays we are leading such a busy way of life that we often forget about the importance of the vital healthy food. Of course, it’s much faster to buy junk food that is sold at every corner and fool ourselves that things are going to change and from tomorrow on we are going to eat healthy and vital food. However, “tomorrow” never comes and we fail in finding an open pocket of time to prepare some really good food.
As the time passes, the impact of the junk food on your body, becomes evident. Not only the overweight but the health problems in general so going on a cleansing diet turns out to be one of your top priorities.
Everyone, used to eating junk food ask the same question: “What I have to eat now in order to detox my body”? Here are the ten foods that can help you improve your health and hopefully change your eating habits.
- Artichokes- deserves the first place in our list as probably the best cleansing food, thought to contain the antioxidant known as “affeoylquinic acids”. The atrichokes helps losing weight and prevent some liver diseases.
- When you hear a “powerful antioxidant” the first thing that has to come up to your mind is Broccoli. Eating cabbage, broccoli or cauliflower during your cleansing course is obligatory, not to mention that those veggies fight particular kinds of cancer.

Despite your efforts, eating veggies only and and having a constant feeling of hunger can make even the most persistent of you, give up. So feel free to treat yourself every now and then by eating water-packed fish or organic chicken. Just remember to prepare the meat sensibly, in other words it should be boiled, not fried. - Drink as much water as you can.
