Detox.

The liver serves such an important function to the human body. The liver is the main organ in the body that eliminates toxins. Many peoples lifestyle leads to build up of toxins in the liver due to poor diet and lack of exercise. Toxins built up in the liver may cause chronic fatigue, hormone imbalance, bloating, indegestion and skin problems. I believe that everyone has experienced toxic build up at one point or another. Luckily, I have some great foods that aid in the detoxifacation of the liver. All the foods I am about to list are great for detox but are best if consumed raw (excluding the eggs, rice and salmon).

Parsley
Cilantro
Ginger
Garlic
Sesame seeds
Cabbage
Arugula
Raddichio
Beets
Asparagus
Brown Rice
Apples
Lemon
Lime
Grapefruit
Pears
Carrots
Eggs
Salmon

Make big hearty salads or stirfry with these detoxifying ingredients. Garnish your fish with cilantro or parsley. Make dressings and marinades with lemon, lime juice and olive oil. Eating clean. Better well-being in 2010.
