你的身體每日會不斷清除毒素。不幸的是，身體排毒功能有時未能應付現代生活習慣所帶來的過高毒素負荷。
營養學家拉尼亞巴泰奈.英裏Rania Batayneh解釋："你的身體有天然排毒機制，透過肺、肝、腎和皮膚等各器官協調工作。"她建議采用整全食物療法有助促進身體排度工作。
豐富滋養的飲食習慣
她指出："整全食物療法的原理是盡量選擇吃天然食品、避免人工甜味劑和酒精，每餐享用風味新鮮的飯菜。在飯菜加入天然香草(例如薑黃)既不含鹽(鈉)又能為食物增添美味！" 薑黃中的主要成分是薑黃素，此成分不但有助消化，也有助肝臟解毒和凈化。
每日堅持整全飲食，天然排毒身體好。建議選擇有機食品(因為這些食物毒素含量較少)， 並要多喝水。
補充劑的幫助
另一種溫和的排毒法是選用"綠色食物"(例如螺旋藻或小麥草等)，這有助身體更有效排出毒素。綠色食物蘊含抗氧化劑，能减輕肝臟的工作負荷。
草藥中奶薊最廣為人知能促進肝臟排毒功能。事實上人類采用這藥草支援肝功能已經超過二千年歷史。奶薊中有種稱為水飛薊素的有效成分。研究表明水飛薊素能改善肝臟功能。由於大多數藥物都通過肝臟處理，使用某些藥物後服用奶薊對保護肝臟尤為重要。抗生素和止痛藥等可能產生對肝臟有害的副產物。服用抗生素療程或止痛藥後攝取水飛薊素有助肝臟清除這些毒素。水飛薊素甚至被認為能促進受損的肝細胞再生。
BOTANICALS FOR A WHOLE-FOODS CLEANSE
Your body is constantly clearing out toxins. Unfortunately, your body can’t always keep up with the toxin load of the modern world.
“Your body naturally detoxifies itself though your lungs, liver, kidneys, and skin,” explains nutritionist Rania Batayneh, MPH. She recommends a whole-foods approach to cleansing.
Nourishing Habits
“A whole-foods cleanse is based on eating natural foods, eliminating artificial sweeteners and alcohol, and nourishing your body with fresh meals filled with flavor. Herbs and spices (like turmeric) add a lot of flavor with no sodium,” she notes. The main component of turmeric, called curcumin, aids digestion and helps with liver detoxification and cleansing.
You can simply support your body’s innate detoxification mechanisms on a daily basis. For example, choose organic foods since they have fewer toxins than conventionally grown foods, and drink plenty of water.
Supplemental Help
Another gentle way to support your body’s detoxification efforts is to consume “green foods,” such as spirulina or wheat grass. Green foods, aside from being rich in antioxidants, take some of the load off the liver, which is the body’s hardest-working detox organ.
The herb milk thistle is also well-regarded for bolstering liver function. In fact, this herb has a 2,000-year history of use as a liver supporter. A compound in milk thistle called silymarin is widely considered the active constituent. Research has shown silymarin to improve liver function. Milk thistle can be particularly helpful after using certain medications, since most medications are processed through the liver. Antibiotics and the pain reliever acetaminophen (Panadol) can create toxic byproducts in the liver. Taking milk thistle
after a course of antibiotics or while using acetaminophen can help clear those toxins from the liver. Silymarin has even been shown to regenerate injured liver cells.
