Detox Foods
King of the Detox Foods
There is no denying the negative effects caused by the stress placed on us by modern life. This is why it is so important to look after ourselves. Fast foods might be the most convenient option, but a continuous diet consisting of this type of food causes a build up of toxins in your body. We often hear about certain healthy food options that act as so-called detox foods, helping your body to get rid of these unwanted toxins. Pomegranate, prunes, blueberries – they’re all very healthy and beneficial. There is, however, one naturally occurring fruit that can claim to contain much more vitamins, minerals and other helpful substances than any other known fruit – the Goji berry.
Also known as the wolfberry, this small, inconspicuous fruit hails from northern China. Despite its size, it contains a large amount of healthy ‘ingredients’, such as vitamins B1, B2, B6 and E, 18 amino acids, and 21 trace minerals including Germanium. Germanium has been demonstrated to be connected to anti-cancer activities. Further establishing itself as one of the leaders of detox foods is the fact that it also contains zinc, iron, copper, selenium, phosphorus, calcium and up to 500 times more vitamin C than oranges. Its high content of Vitamin E is uncommon in fruits. It also contains four unique polysaccharides (LBP) which enhances the immune system and is scientifically proven to help your body fight diseases like cancer.
One of its most noteworthy attributes is the fact that it is an excellent antioxidant. An antioxidant is a molecule capable of inhibiting the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidising agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals. In turn, these radicals can start chain reactions that damage cells.
