Time to Come Clean

Teaser: Here is a TOP 10 shopping list of foods that will help fight toxins and free them pesky radicals in the body.
Feeling dirty? Time to clean up from the inside out- without going on any crazy “detox diet!”
Detoxing, cleansing, and fasting are not new trends.
Hippocrates, considered to be the father of Western medicine, believed in fasts as a way to heal the body, purge the system of pollutants, and even excrete the emotional residue built up from daily life.
And while modern medicine has tended to be symptom-focused ie: seeking healing through pill-popping and reactionary remedies, recently there has been a shift, returning faith to the time-tested holistic practices of our medicinal forefathers. Seems that, though we continue to technologically advance, we are in fact looking back and acknowledging the benefits of preventative medicine in addition to curative care.
The great news is, foods are an easy way to gently detox everyday! Yes, some foods are serious multi-taskers when it comes to both nurturing and cleansing the body, and you don’t even have to go on a special “diet or buy into any specific “cleansing programs.”
Here again is a TOP 10 shopping list of foods that will help fight toxins and free radicals in the body, plus a total party pleaser detox asparagus recipe. Print and go!
Time to chill. Check out the below chai frappe recipe that will boost your taste buds while lowering your temperature on a hot Summer day!
