Spring Detox

 


 

The sun is out and it’s about time to shed some of that been-inside-all-winter weight. And we can’t blame you, getting cozy with a big pot of something tasty is the reason for the season but now that it’s almost summer, we’ve all got those swimsuit goals to attend to. 


Give your fitness goals a headstart by tending to your diet first. Try a little spring cleaning for your body with 5 awesome foods to add to your Spring Detox

Avocado

When you think detox, you usually think light, right? We encourage you to think fat. That is, the natural fats and nutrients found in avocado. They are nutritional powerhouses that can help to lower cholesterol and dilate blood vessels while blocking artery-destroying toxicity. Avocados contain a nutrient called glutathione, which blocks at least thirty different carcinogens or cancer causing chemicals while helping the liver do some serious deep cleaning of chemicals that negatively affect your health..

Blueberries

Most people don’t realize just how powerful a punch these little berries put out. Blueberries are often touted as one of the most beneficial and nutritious foods when it comes to healing and detoxification. They contain natural aspirin that helps lessen the tissue-damaging effects of chronic inflammation, one of the leading causes of obesity, heart disease and other chronic conditions. Blueberries are also filled with natural antioxidants that help to create natural antibiotics and protect against certain infections. All that, and they taste great in a smoothie!

 

Green tea

Green tea is often heralded as to be one of the healthiest beverages on the planet. So much so that it’s seen as a delicacy in several east Asian countries. Beyond the refreshing taste, green tea is loaded with antioxidants that have many health benefits, which can include, improved brain function, fat loss, protecting against cancer, lowering the risk of heart disease and natural energy boost. All from one drink!

Cauliflower

Not only is cauliflower a smart and tasty alternative to grains and pastas like flour and rice, it also has some pretty significant health benefits. Cauliflower provides antioxidant nutrients and sulfur-containing nutrients to boost liver detoxification. In addition, it’s a great source of vitamin C, which is one of the most powerful antioxidants we can have in the body. Immune boost here you come!

Garlic

Eating garlic can help cleanse harmful bacteria and unwanted agents in the body. It can also help cleanse build-up from the arteries that can cause high blood pressure and heart disease. Like many of the other foods on this list, garlic also has antioxidant properties that help detoxify the body of harmful substances that can cause a myriad of health issues. Add some fresh garlic to your favorite dish and let the detox begin.


The best thing about this list? You can go pick up any of these items in abundance at your local grocery store and add them to your diet or detox today. Being healthy doesn’t have to be a big effort. Just make some smarter choices by adding beneficial foods like these to your diet and watch your goals come to life!
