Natural Detox Diet Foods
Ironically, the harder your liver is working to detox your body, the more endangered your liver and other organs become, threatened by the influx of free radicals that result from liver detox. Because antioxidants are your best safeguard against free-radical damage, you need a healthy supply of the antioxidants found in colorful fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices to support your liver during this process.
For phase 1, in your detox diet you need zinc, along with vitamins A, B1 B2, C and E.
For phase 2, you need folic acid, vitamin E, selenium, manganese and glutathione, as well as the amino acids methionine, cyseeine, glycine, glutamine, and taurine.
But there’s a second danger to this two-stage process which you need to understand when learning how to detox your body naturally. The intermediate toxic compounds are often more toxic than the substances from which they originally came. So if your liver doesn’t finish phase 2 detoxification of these intermediate compounds, your efforts at detox have just had the opposite effect: overloading your system with extra toxins.
