To be healthy, we need to eliminate toxins from our body. These come from chemical processes in the body and from food, alcohol, tobacco, pesticides and other environmental toxins..
Our detoxification system made up of the liver, kidneys and, lungs, intestines and skin can be overwhelmed by this influx of toxins. Clogged, our organism weakens. Hence the interest of doing detox cures! And the green detox is particularly interesting. Why ? “All green vegetables (fennel, celery, avocado, spinach cabbage …) are very low in calories and all green fruits (kiwi, green apple and plum, green grape …) relatively unsweetened. In addition, they are rich in chlorophyll, purifying, detoxifying, alkalizing, antioxidant and antioxidant carotenoids “, explains Anne Dufour, journalist and author with Catherine Dupin of My little green detox magic recipes. *
Thus, they make it possible to do a daily detox because our body needs to detoxify itself permanently. Anne Dufour’s advice on green detox: use seasonal plants, better in taste and rich in nutrients, rather consume small amounts full of green foods rather than large amounts less varied in order to benefit from a wide range of nutrients and vary the preparations : raw in the form of juice or in salad and cooked (to make the most of the carotenoids) by steaming, in soup … How to make the most of this green detox? 1 glass of green juice per day or one green day per week.
