The human body has a natural ability to get rid of toxins. The kidneys, liver, and intestines together function to remove harmful chemicals, biochemical waste, and other substances, but they need nutritional support. Fiber, for example, helps food to move smoothly through the digestive system while promoting regular elimination of waste. Cruciferous vegetables and brown rice both provide high levels of fiber and also beneficial B vitamins, which promote healthy metabolism. Yogurt contributes to healthy digestion and detoxification, as it keeps blood sugar stable while introducing probiotics that help the body break down and process food.

Fruits and fruit juices help to cleanse the system as well. Oranges and other fruits high in vitamin C enable the liver to produce enough glutathione, a necessary detoxifier, and juices contain the water that the body needs to flush itself of harmful substances. Finally, regular hydration is essential to effective natural detoxification, as is sufficient rest and the avoidance of fatty or processed foods.
