and products we put on our bodies and in our homes,

each exposes us to an overload of environmental toxins.

Educate yourself as to what things cause this exposure and

pathways as well as boost your immune system.

1. Greens

Chlorophyll may actually be able to bind cancer-

causing chemicals, allowing chemicals to be

excreted by the body instead of being absorbed.

Try: Barley or Wheatgrass, Chard or Kale, Lambs Quarters or Dandelion

2. Cruciferous Vegetables

These powerhouse vegetables not only help

promote liver detoxification, but they also

contain indole-3-carbinol, a compound that

helps balance estrogen levels.

Try: Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, and Cabbage

detoxification.

Tip: Sprinkle on any meal, in any smoothie or juice.
