Nutrition experts emphasize the importance of following dietary regimens that help cleanse the body of toxins from time to time, and we can adopt some of these systems during the holy month of Ramadan by incorporating specific foods into our meals. According to a report published by the health-focused website Boldsky, there are nine foods that can help remove harmful toxins from the body, including:
**Grapefruit**
Drinking a cup of grapefruit juice at iftar can effectively cleanse the digestive system, circulatory system, and liver, as it is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. Thus, consuming grapefruit not only helps maintain a slim body but also detoxifies it.
**Spinach**
In addition to its numerous benefits, including treating anemia, boosting immunity, enhancing metabolism, and strengthening bones, spinach can detoxify the entire body, acting as a "broom" that sweeps away all toxins. It can be consumed cooked, added to salads, or made into green juice.
**Orange**
Make sure to eat an orange or drink a cup of fresh orange juice at iftar, as it can significantly enhance your health. Oranges are rich in vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system and helps eliminate germs and toxins efficiently.
**Garlic**
Garlic cloves have a remarkable ability to detoxify the body due to a compound called "allicin," which filters out toxins, especially from the digestive system, leaving the body in an optimal state of health. Be sure to add garlic to your dishes during iftar.
**Broccoli**
Broccoli is rich in nutritional benefits, including its toxin-cleansing properties due to its antioxidants. Adding broccoli to your iftar, especially in the form of delicious broccoli soup, ensures you gain its numerous benefits.
**Green Tea**
A good habit during the holy month is to enjoy a cup of green tea shortly after iftar. Green tea is rich in antioxidants that enhance metabolism and help maintain ideal weight, and it naturally detoxifies the body.
**Sunflower Seeds**
Sunflower seeds contain fiber and folate, which have wonderful benefits for the body, maintaining health while helping to eliminate toxins and harmful residues.
**Avocado**
Avocado is rich in beneficial nutrients, containing omega-3 fatty acids that help the body get rid of harmful toxins. Therefore, make sure to include avocado in your meals during Ramadan, whether at iftar or suhoor.
**Turmeric**
Turmeric is known for its antimicrobial properties, making it an effective substance for detoxifying the body. Adding turmeric to your meals during Ramadan will ensure your body is cleansed of harmful toxins throughout the holy month.
