Introduction: Statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that more than 140 toxic chemicals are circulating in the human body. Some foods can act as an automatic cleanse for these toxins. The U.S. "Daily Medical News" recently introduced several foods with detoxification functions.
Hot Apple Drink
Apples. Apples are rich in pectin, a soluble dietary fiber that removes food additives and metal residues from the body system.
Beets. Beets help the liver's detoxification function and alleviate bile-related diseases (such as jaundice, hepatitis, food poisoning, diarrhea, and vomiting). Beets are also known as "blood purifiers" and "blood builders" because they help regenerate and restore red blood cells and supply the body with fresh oxygen.
Cold Beet Soup
Ginger. Ginger not only stimulates the taste buds but also kickstarts the metabolic process, flushing out toxins. This is due to its high concentration of gingerol.
Onions. A study published in the "Journal of Environmental and Pollution" shows that onions can absorb toxic metal elements such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, and tin from polluted foods.
