Detoxification Support

Raw Food Diet

The Raw Food Diet emphasizes foods that support the body's natural detoxification pathways through high chlorophyll content, sulfur compounds, and enzymes that enhance phase I and II liver detoxification. The abundant water content and fiber promote elimination through kidneys and bowels. Raw foods also minimize exposure to toxins formed during cooking processes.

Key foods: Raw wheatgrass, raw cilantro, raw parsley, raw cruciferous vegetables, raw garlic, raw lemon, raw dandelion greens, sprouted seeds

How does Raw Food Diet assist with Detoxification Support: Sulfur-containing compounds in raw cruciferous vegetables and garlic support glutathione production and enhance liver detoxification enzymes. Chlorophyll-rich greens bind to toxins and heavy metals, while high fiber content promotes toxin elimination through the digestive tract. The absence of cooking prevents formation of potentially harmful compounds like acrylamide and heterocyclic amines.
