Top 10 cleansing foods for daily detox
10. Water
When all is said and done, if you aren’t properly hydrated, all your cleansing efforts will be compromised. Making up about 60 percent of your body weight, every system in your body relies on water. Responsible for everything from great, supple skin and regular bowel function to flushing out toxins and carrying nutrients to cells, water is essential. You lose about 12 cups of water a day through urine, sweat, breathing, and bowel movements. Food accounts for about 20 percent of your intake of fluid, but only if you are eating lots of vegetables and whole grains. You need to drink water to make up the rest; hence the “eight glasses a day” guideline. Adjust your water intake according to your diet and exercise level.
