A Juice To Detox From Heavy Metals

5/31/2014

Heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead, uranium and aluminum may enter the human body through food, water, air, or by absorption through the skin. These toxins contribute to serious health problems in the human body. If you have dental fillings, have been vaccinated or have eaten seafood, then your body is most likely to be contaminated.

It’s important to cleanse our bodies on a cellular level. You can do this through eating cleansing foods (organic fruits and vegetables), drinking vegetable juices, taking natural supplements (like chlorella), sweating (through exercise, hot yoga or sauna), and by using breathing techniques.

One of my favorite ways to detox my body is to have green vegetable juice. It is a great routine to get into ... make it a priority to take care of your health. Green juice is my daily, drinkable health insurance, providing the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants my body needs.

This particular 'detox' juice is packed with detoxifying foods which strengthen the liver, bind the heavy metals in the body and help eliminate them.

Heavy Metal Detox Juice 

Serves 1

Ingredients
•2 small beets (or 1 large beet)
•4 cups chopped kale
•2 cups chopped celery
•1 medium cucumber
•1/2 lime
•1 bunch of parsley
•1 bunch of cilantro
•2 inches ginger
•1-2 tsp. chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. Wash all ingredients. Choose organic if possible.

2. Run all the ingredients (minus chia seeds) through the juicer, or blend all ingredients (minus chia seeds) in a blender if you don't have a juicer. If using a blender, and the juice is extremely thick, you can use a strainer to remove larger particles (optional). 

3. If using, add the chia seeds to your prepared juice, and leave to soak for about 10 minutes. Chia seeds contain water soluble fiber, which gives them a gel-like consistency once the seeds are soaked. This gel absorbs the toxins in your digestive tract, helping your body cleanse itself.

4. Enjoy!

"A child is imprinted with many influences... and all of this shapes a personality"
"When there's a mindfulness approach to living, it ultimately becomes the personality of the child to truly manifest and become who they are -- not trying to become a doctor or a lawyer, but trying to discover their gifts."
Sonia Sequeira, Ph.D., Translational Research Assistant Manager at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

It is great for aiding in digestion and elimination with its great fiber content. It’s also filled with so many nutrients, vitamins, folate and magnesium as well as those listed below.


2. Kale is high in iron. Per calorie, kale has more iron than beef. Iron is essential for good health, such as the formation of hemoglobin and enzymes, transporting oxygen to various parts of the body, cell growth, proper liver function and more.


3. Kale is high in Vitamin K. Eating a diet high in Vitamin K can help protect against various cancers. It is also necessary for a wide variety of bodily functions including normal bone health and blood clotting. Also increased levels of vitamin K can help people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.


4. Kale is filled with powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants, such as carotenoids and flavonoids help protect against various cancers.


5. Kale is a great anti-inflammatory food. One cup of kale is filled with 10% of the RDA of omega-3 fatty acids, which help, fight against arthritis, asthma and autoimmune disorders.


6. Kale is great for cardiovascular support. Eating more kale can help lower cholesterol levels.


7. Kale is high in Vitamin A. Vitamin A is great for your vision, your skin as well as helping to prevent lung and oral cavity cancers.


8. Kale is high in Vitamin C. This is very helpful for your immune system, your metabolism and your hydration.


9. Kale is high in calcium. Per calorie, kale has more calcium than milk, which aids in preventing bone loss, preventing osteoporosis and maintaining a healthy metabolism. Vitamin C is also helpful to maintain cartilage and joint flexibility


10. Kale is a great detox food. Kale is filled with fiber and sulfur, both great for detoxifying your body and keeping your liver healthy.
