Linseeds or flaxseeds
These can easily be added to porridge or bread for instance. They add flavour and
texture, and are inexpensive. However, their real benefits lie in their high levels of
essential fats (the much-discussed omega-3 variety, which benefits the body in a
number of ways) and their high levels of fibre…. very good for healthy digestion.
Spinach
Spinach is cheap (currently!), and very easy to use. It can be cooked, eaten raw in
salads, used in curries or soups, and served in a host of other ways, and is brilliant as
part of a detox diet. Why? Thi si sbe causei t

Tea
Ahhh,t het raditi
ona l‘pickmeup’c uppa . Did you know that many varieties of tea
contain antioxidants which help your body eliminate damaging free radicals, which is
absolutely essential for any detoxification plans. Brew up a lighter blend and leave out
the milk, adding instead a small amount of grated root ginger, which contains a
compound called gingerol that can help ease digestive problems, act as an anti-
inflammatory, and improve circulation.

Garlic
No home should ever be without some…For a long time it was held that garlic is
good for the blood: although doubt has been cast upon whether or not this in
particular is true, the aromatic ingredient has antiviral, antiseptic and antibiotic
properties. The vital sulphuric compounds it contains make it an essential detoxifier.
These treats are high in selenium and the as mentioned above, the essential fats, such
as omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9, which help your body in a number of ways. For
instance, from keeping your hair glossy to boosting your memory. Add to this heaps
of protein and fibre, and lots of vitamin E (great for the skin), for a very healthy and
tasty handful.
Broccoli
Broccoli is definitely a super food with a capital S! This year-round staple should be
eaten as frequently as possible. Not only is it delicious and extremely versatile, it
contains high levels of vitamin C, lots of beta carotene (which may act as a powerful
antioxidant) and plenty of calcium. Stir-fry it with garlic and soy sauce for a super
yummy detox boost.
