Detox you Thanksgiving indulgences

Overindulged this Thanksgiving? We feel you...

Instead of getting frustrated or continuing down the overindulging path, get back on track and detox out some of those indulgences. Detox doesn't mean you have to fast, drink only juice or cut out most things that keep you sane. Helping your body detox can be as simple as incorporating some detoxing foods into your diet.

We recommend:
Watercress - throw some into your lunch salad (helps keep free radicals away from your cells, energizing cleansing enzymes in the liver and is a natural diuretic)
Fresh fruit - full of vitamins, fiber and much more
Artichokes - promote healthy liver and gallbladder function
Beets - fiber increases the production of antioxidant enzymes in the liver
Ginger and garlic - add this to your stir fry

Don't forget to drink plenty of fluids and get your rest. Sleep and hydration can make a world of difference!
