Healthy detox: detoxify your body with these 4 natural ingredients

How do you detox your body in a healthy way? Certainly not by just drinking soups, smoothies or detox juices.

Such a detox cure is really not healthy, because you don't eat a varied diet that way and therefore don't get enough nutrients. In the long run, this can even lead to shortages…

You cleanse your body by eating healthy and supporting your body with natural ingredients.

In this blog you will discover 4 ingredients that have a detoxifying effect and are therefore ideal for a thorough detox!

Helping your body's self-cleansing process

Our body is a super machine: the liver and other organs are constantly working hard to break down foreign substances that do not belong in your body. They then leave your body through urine and faeces, but also through your breathing.

Of course, your body can use a little extra help every now and then. When you've had a lot of aperitif moments during the holidays, you soon feel that your body is working overtime to repair the damage. It is at such a time that a little support can do no harm.

In addition, you can keep your body healthy all year round by cooking more with detoxifying ingredients.

Natural ingredients that have a detoxifying effect

Nettle: a medicinal plant

Have you ever come into contact with a stinging nettle? Then you know that itching is anything but pleasant... And yet this plant has many medicinal benefits:

• It works as a super detoxifier, because it quickly removes harmful substances from your body.
• Nettle is a diuretic . This is an agent that stimulates the release of water. Your urine production is increased, which means that dangerous substances are removed from the body more quickly.
• It supports the functioning of your liver and kidneys.

Fennel has a diuretic effect

Fennel is another healthy vegetable with a surprising number of benefits. Thanks to its diuretic and cleansing effect, it will give your liver a thorough clean, just like nettle. In addition, it also has these advantages:

• It's full of iron. This is important because it prevents anemia.
• Because it contains a lot of antioxidants and vitamin C, it will also strengthen your immune system.
• It has an antibacterial effect.

Lemon zest is full of nutrients

The peel of a lemon is often thrown away, even though it is packed with good substances. It even contains more vitamins than the fruit itself, so you immediately have a good reason to use that peel more!

These are the reasons why it is best not to throw away the peel immediately:

• It contains a large dose of antioxidants and vitamins, giving your immune system a boost.
• The zest contains flavonoids, which are incredibly good for your heart and blood vessels, so that they also support the natural cleansing process of your body.
• The peel is a source of calcium, which is important for keeping your bones and cells strong.

Matcha powder: the green gold

Last but not least: matcha powder ! How could it be otherwise, as a matcha expert I am only too happy to tell you about the many health benefits:

• It naturally cleanses your body. A month before harvest, the plants are covered, which boosts the production of chlorophyll, amino acids, antioxidants and L-theanine. Chlorophyll is known as a detoxifying substance. It gives your intestines and liver a thorough cleanse.
• Because it is packed with antioxidants and vitamins, your immune system also gets a boost.
• It gives you energy for hours, which is also a nice bonus. :-)
