Detox Recipes

Toxins are a daily part of the human body. Our bodies are receiving toxins from external factors such as the air that we breathe, the food that we eat and many other daily products such as cleaning products that we might use. In addition, the body is also making internal toxins that are due to stress, anxiety and other negative emotional factors. To get rid of these toxins, there is nothing like going on a full week detox retreat in Thailand for maximum cleansing, but meanwhile you can try out a full week detox diet at home. From the recipe below, engage in the start of your journey to a healthier body and mind.

Lemon Detox

Lemon has been known for having detoxifying components for a long time. It is used all over the world such as Australia and Europe and is also well-known amongst celebrities. This recipe has proven to give outstanding detoxifying results over many years.

For one serving of this juice, you will need to mix the following ingredients:

• 1 Lemon or Lime
• 2 tablespoon of Maple Syrup
• 10 oz of Water, preferably filtered
• 3 pinches of Cayenne Pepper
• 1 pinch of Salt

Ginger Detox

Ginger is also a Detoxifying food. It is high in antioxidant and can give a boost to the immune system at the same time. What is great about Ginger is that it can also be included in any other detox juice that you make such as the Lemon detox or other recipes.

For one serving of a ginger detoxifying juice, you will need to put the following in a mixer:

• ½ of peeled green apple
• 8 fresh mint leaves
• 2 teaspoons of pealed minced ginger
• 8 oz of water, preferably filtered
• 1 teaspoon of honey

Green machine

Some call it the green machine, other the green juice or any other fancy name. It is the king of detox juice. It is a powerful cleansing drink because it contains more than one detoxifying agents. Greens are well known to be antioxidants, but they can also rejuvenate skin cells. Many people have modified the recipe for this popular juice, and have their own versions. The following is a basic recipe for one serving, mix:

• 1 and ¼ cup of chopped Collard or Kale
• 1 cup of spinach
• 1 freshly squeezed lemon
• 1 peeled Kiwi
• 8 oz of filtered water. I like it more liquid but you can adjust the water according to your texture preferences

These are few recipes that you can try at home, again for beginners; it is good to have this recipe in your daily routine accompanied with a healthy lifestyle. When you are comfortable, try at least a full day of just detox diet, and then you can up your game with two days and even a full week. Your body will thank you. There are also other activities that can help to achieve a clear mind and healthy body such as regular exercising or meditation.
