By incorporating detoxifying foods into your everyday diet, you are not only feeding it vitamins and nutrients, but improving the overall health of the body. Detoxifying foods can help with weight loss, improve immune function, cleanse the liver, purify the blood, remove toxins, reduce the risk of chronic illness; such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
