The best source of antioxidants is undoubtedly fruits and vegetables. No artificial supplements can replace them, so eat them as much as possible – you can’t make a mistake. There’s one special rule:
The darker fruits and vegetables are, the higher detoxifying effect you can expect.
- Red Cabbage
- Beet
- Grapes
- Kale
- Petiolate Celery
- Broccoli
- Tomatoes
Always keep in mind that all kinds of fruits and vegetables have detoxifying effect on your body. So if you don’t’ like the above mentioned ones, you can start with juicing apples or carrots.
And why is juicing necessary? Is it not enough just to eat more fruits and vegetables? The think is that detox by drinking fresh juices have much better results compared to eating the whole fruits.
The main reason why is the fact that our body can’t digest roughage, which is mainly contained in peel and pulp. Juicing extracts these parts, so your digestion can focus just on vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances, which detoxify your organism and improve immunity system.
Instead of digesting the whole piece of fruits and vegetables for a couple of hours your body absorbs up to 68 % of nutrients from juices (just 17 % from whole pieces) in just 15 minutes.
