Party Challenge Day. 4 - Foods Good For Detox

How is Day 4 going?  (leave me a comment below)

Don't know about you all, but this last 5 days has gone by really quickly.  Tomorrow is our final day for detoxing before we embark on the big weight loss party challenge.  If you want to lose weight before Christmas, it needs to be done NOW.  Go to the TAB at top which says 'join our weight loss challenge'

Here are a list of top 10 foods that help with detoxing...

1. Green leafy vegetables help protect the liver. Have them steamed or in a smoothie or raw where possible.
 
2. Another food that is high in vitamin c is lemons and even more helpful with a detox is lemonade simply because of its liquid form, but make sure its fresh!

3.  Watercress and celery really good to help detoxify.  You can throw them in  salads, soups and sandwiches and its natural diuretic  is good getting rid of water retention.

4 & 5.  Garlic and sesame seeds  both help protect your heart and liver enzymes and also help to clean out everything that doesn’t belong.

6. Green tea is full of healthy antioxidants and even contains catechins which speed up liver activity.

7 & 8. The two most important green leafy vegetables are broccoli sprouts and cabbage. Both are high in fiber and help stimulate enzymesYou may get a bit gassy with these vegetables :)

9. Fruit, fruit and more fruit. Everything from blueberries, raspberries, grapefruit, bananas to mangos are all full of vitamin c and are of course delicious and easy to add to any meal..

10. Psyllium is similar to oat bran but more versatile. You can purchase it as a powder and it will help in cleansing your colon


An last but not least, it’s important to drink plenty of fluids to keep your body hydrated while going through a detox. 

Day 5 the last day is tomorrow :)  see you all then when I do my final weigh -in.
