How to Cleanse Toxic Metals

We are exposed to toxic metals everywhere in our daily lives. Toxic metals are found in our foods, our cleaning products and product packaging. These metals pass through our body regularly, and generally are at low enough levels to not cause any harm. If allowed to build up too much, these metals can cause many different types of disease. When the levels are too high, the metals need to be cleansed from the system.

Instructions

• 1

  Eat foods high in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables. Fiber can decrease the level of metal absorbed by the body.

• 2

  Eat antioxidant-rich foods such as citrus, nuts and seeds. Antioxidants are great at blocking absorption of heavy metals in the body.

• 3

  Drink green tea. The antioxidants in green tea have been proven to block absorption of some heavy metals in the body.

• 4

  Substitute cooking oils with coconut oil to add saturated fat to your diet.

• 5

  Eat fish, avocados and other foods proven to be high in omega-3 fatty acids.

• 6

  Eat cilantro regularly. Cilantro may help remove certain toxic metals from the body.

  Eat unflavored yogurt to increase the levels of healthy probiotics in your body.
