Two Soup Recipes To Help Detox Your Body

Are you toxic? It’s hard not to be in a world filled with pollution along with food toxins such as dyes, fillers, additives and preservatives. Toxins can adversely affect us from brain to toe, damaging our cells, creating numerous health problems and accelerating aging. But one good way to rid the body of toxins is with nutrient-charged soups, says Cherie Calbom (juiceladycherie.com), a best-selling author and nutritionist whose latest book, Souping is the New Juicing, includes a toxicity quiz. “Soup can be a part of any detox program,” Calbom says. “What if you never changed the oil or filters in your car? Our bodies are a bit like our cars. They have filter systems that need to be cleaned out and fluids that need to be flushed out. That’s where souping comes in, offering an abundance of antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Detoxing the body, Calbom says, has the dual effect of healing and helping weight loss. If you decide to try different ways of detoxing to see which one suits you, you may want to look at an ionic foot bath, people have said that they’ve noticed the benefits and this ionic foot bath chart shows what could potentially come out from using one of these. See how these soups can benefit your body and maybe check out other detoxifying methods to use in conjunction with healthy intake. Here are two recipes she suggests:
