7 Toxic Foods to Avoid
– Alcohol
Alcohol taxes one organ that does so much good for you on your detox: your liver. Cut out alcohol while while providing it with essential vitamins and minerals from the detox foods above and it will heal itself over time. You’ll soon notice more energy and vitality as your liver improves its important functions.
– Sugar
Sugar is a toxic substance, and one that you’ll want to abstain from for the most effective detox. This can be one of the hardest things to avoid while on a detox, but it will make the biggest difference overall. You may even notice some withdrawal symptoms, since sugar boosts dopamine levels, similar to some illicit drugs.
– Processed Foods
Stay away from anything processed and make all of your detox meals and snacks yourself using wholesome, natural foods. This includes anything packaged by a publicly traded corporation in a grocery store, as well as fast food, chain restaurants, and restaurant food in general.
– Dairy
Dairy products may have some benefits, such as calcium and protein, but you can get these nutrients from non-dairy sources. Diary has no fiber and many adults have at least a mild digestive sensitivity to it, and for the purposes of detoxing it just doesn’t serve you.
– Meat
Meat contains zero fiber and makes your digestive system work extra hard to get it out. You can get the protein and minerals that meat provides from vegetable sources while on a detox. Going meatless for your detox gives your digestive system a break and allows you to get more toxins out.
– Soy Foods
While often thought of as a health food, there’s enough evidence that points to processed soy products being toxic to the body. They can make it harder for the body to absorb important minerals, which is counterproductive to what is needed while detoxing. This is a time when the body needs to be fully nourished.
– Unhealthy Oils
Stick with healthy oils while on a detox, and avoid unhealthy oils like vegetable oil, canola oil, soybean oil, and of course anything hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated. This is why you’ll want to avoid processed foods because almost all of them are made with unhealthy oils and other toxic ingredients.
