FERMENTED FOODS
Fermented foods offer a wonderful list of benefits to support a healthy gut. When these foods go through a process of fermentation, the friendly bacteria convert the natural carbohydrates in food to lactic acid, enzymes, vitamins, fatty acids and healthy probiotic strains – all of which support detoxification and gut function. Here are some of our favorite fermented food recipes:
- Sauerkraut
- Kimchi
- Kombucha
- Kefir
PLANT BASED POWER
To get your body prepared for a detox, start cutting back on heavy meals, animal products, any gluten and refined sugars. But more importantly, rather than focusing on cutting out foods, focus on adding in color! Choose meals that have as many colors as possible so your body is receiving an array of nutrients. Soups are also a great, nourishing option and can be packed with extra vegetables easily. Here are some of our favorite salad and soup recipes:
