I feel sluggish. Perhaps it’s the winter cold driving me to constant comfort eating, or I could just be a fatass. Who knows? All I know is, I want a cleanse. I want my body to feel clean and healthy again, so why not accomplish this naturally?

Some people believe that they have to take a supplement in order to go on a cleanse or a Detox. Others believe that flushing your system out with various combinations of liquid concoctions will do the trick. Many people are unaware that a good and natural cleanse can be made by simply eating.

Here are some foods that you can incorporate into your diet to naturally Detox your system:

Cauliflower

Cauliflower is an anti-oxidant rich vegetable that ads your body’s natural detoxification system and reduces inflammation.

Broccoli

Broccoli is a strong natural detoxifier. Broccoli neutralizes and eliminates toxins while also delivering a healthy dose of vitamins.
