1. Kidney: Cleans the blood of toxins and urine, which in turn cleans the bladder. Drink water to keep your kidney’s working well.
2. Liver: Processes alcohol. The liver is the only organ in the body that can completely regenerate itself. Include anti-oxidants in your diet to keep it healthy.
3. Lungs: Rids the body of waste.

Foods To Cleanse The Liver

Turmeric, known as curcumin, is useful for treating and cleansing the liver, relieving liver injury and for invigorating the production of bile. Turmeric helps rejuvenate liver cells that break down toxins.The bitter herb has a mild and earthy taste. It can be added to whole grains when they are cooking, marinara sauce, soups, stews, stir fry’s, or any food you wish. Fibrous Cuban black beans and yellow rice is a prime example.

Juice fasting – When preformed for several days or weeks, Fasting can stimulate the removal of internal toxins. There are many different types of fasts. Always research then consult with your physician before attempt a fast..

Eat a wide variety of raw, organic vegetables; eight to ten portions daily. Broccoli, kale, cauliflower, spinach and cabbage are prime examples. Fruit is equally important as it contains powerful antioxidants that scavenge for free radicals that causing oxidation and irritation. Locally grown produce contains higher amounts of vitamins and antioxidants and supports the local economy.

Your liver does three main things: helps digest stuff, make proteins, and gets rid of bad stuff.

Everything we eat and drink has to be broken down into different chemicals before they can actually get to work on helping (or in the case of some foods and drinks, harming) your body. That’s one of the primary jobs of the liver.

Virtually every nutrient we consume, whether it is good for us or not, must pass through the liver so it can be transformed into a different biochemical form. That transformation is what allows the nutrient to be used, transported to a different location in the body, or stored as an extra inch of fat on your thighs.
