Why Clean Eating Supports Natural Detox
Your body already detoxes on its own—through the liver, kidneys, skin, and gut. But modern life floods your system with processed foods, additives, sugar, stress, and environmental toxins. Clean eating gives your body a break by offering:
- High-fiber meals to promote digestion and regularity
- Antioxidant-rich foods to combat free radicals
- Hydrating ingredients to flush waste
- Anti-inflammatory spices to soothe internal stress
- Balanced meals that stabilize blood sugar and energy
Let’s dive into the recipes.
