As I am prepping for my 2 week group detox I am reminded of all the ways we can be detoxing through choosing a variety of foods, especially vegetables. Many times, in between targeted cleanses, fasts and detox, it is easy to fall back into the habit of eating the same foods over and over again.
Why does this matter long term? Because we have to feed our gut bugs and keep our microbiome diverse. When we choose the same foods over and over, even if they are whole, clean organic choices, we have low diversity. I see it often on stool testing. Same foods, same strains, low diversity.
So take a look at this list. Not only are these veggies good for detox, they are also good for the gut! Each group of foods has a different function, many times it is based on the color of the whole food. So eat the rainbow, and make sure your kids are eating the rainbow too!
Any food on here you don't eat often that you could add to your weekly food plan? Comment below and then make it a goal to add 1 at a time to get your body's own detox organs working well.
