4 Kinds Of Soup To Eliminate Toxins
The liver and kidneys are organs that help eliminate toxins stored in the body. In both the short and long term, an accumulation of toxins can affect quality of life and cause acute and chronic health problems.
For this reason, it is important to occasionally assist these organs in their work by eating purifying, natural foods.
In this article, we’ll show you some simple and delicious ways to help these organs perform their detoxifying tasks. By sharing recipes of four types of soup that will eliminate toxins from the body.
Where do toxins come from?
Everyone accumulates toxins and the liver and kidneys are constantly working to remove them.
All in all, many factors influence this process. When toxins are present in large amounts, the detoxifying organs have trouble doing their daily cleaning work.
Here are the factors that cause toxins to be stored:
- Foods that the body does not digest properly.
- Unhealthy foods rich in fats.
- Excess of animal protein.
- Food additives: preservatives, colorants, artificial flavors, etc.
- Alcohol.
- Tobacco and other types of toxic habits.
- Conventional body care products (soap, lotions, toothpaste).
- Environmental pollution (pesticides, gases, etc.).
- Medicines.
- Negative emotions.
For these soups, we chose foods known for their detoxifying properties; to facilitate the natural functions of the liver and kidneys.
To enhance their taste, you can use fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of cayenne pepper and sea salt.
Eat them at dinner as an appetizer over a two-week period, along with some light protein (fish, eggs) and an apple or piece of fruit.
For the rest of the day, try to eat as balanced as possible and drink plenty of water between meals. Try to avoid the substances we mentioned above. So the soup can have a positive effect on your health.
Nettle-celery soup
Nettle is a wild plant that purifies the blood. You can pick it yourself outside, in uncontaminated areas, using plastic gloves. It can also be found in herbal stores. It is known for the following properties:
- Antiseptic
- Anti-inflammatory
- astringent
- Detoxifying
- Anti-rheumatic
- Hypoglycemia
Celery is also a good detoxifying agent, which not only improves the functions of the liver and gallbladder, but also benefits the kidneys. That’s why we’ve included it in this recipe.
dandelion salad soup
Dandelion contains vitamins A, B and C, folic acid, potassium, silicon, iron and tannin. It works on both the kidneys and the liver, as it is a very complete detoxifying agent. It is also a diuretic, good for digestion and has mild laxative properties. You can eat it fresh or dried.
Although we are used to eating lettuce in salads, we can cook it just like any other vegetable. This makes it even more digestible. It also acts as a diuretic and helps regulate the nervous system, making it beneficial for a good night’s sleep after dinner.
Cumin oatmeal soup
Oatmeal, in addition to giving this soup a bit of texture, also contains fiber and vegetable proteins that help remove toxins from the body. Not only is this grain really nutritious, but it also promotes bowel movement. This makes it very suitable for when you want to do a total body cleansing.
Cumin is an essential spice in our daily diet. It contains powerful anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties that help expel bile and relieve the burden on the liver.
Onion artichoke soup
Onion soup is a classic recipe that is both comforting and medicinal. Onions are rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and sulfur, among others. They also contain good amounts of vitamins A, B, C and E. Whether you eat it raw or cooked, it will definitely help kidney function.
Artichokes are one of the vegetables best known for their liver protection properties. You can enjoy them as they are or as a tea infused from the leaves. Keep in mind that artichoke can add a bitter taste to the soup, especially if you use the leaves.
