Smoothies, juices and foods that heal
What makes smoothies, juices, and other tonics special?
Smoothies, juices and other tonics are excellent conductors of essential nutrients for the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms, toxins and heavy metals from our body. Today we are exposed to various substances that our body should process and eliminate. However, in most cases the body cannot eliminate them because the rate at which it receives and accumulates them exceeds it. This causes viruses, bacteria, fungi, toxins, heavy metals and other toxic elements to accumulate mainly in the liver, but also in various organs, in the bloodstream and in the joints.
Smoothies and natural juices provide immediate absorption mechanisms for nutrients such as vitamins, trace minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, polyphenols, electrolytes, water and glucose, which offer a respite to the liver and allow it to continue the natural detoxification processes of our body. . In addition, these phytonutrients have antiviral and antibacterial properties and, in some cases, bind with toxins and heavy metals to drive them out of our body.
The digestive process demands a lot of energy from our bodies, which prevents it from carrying out other equally important processes such as restoration and healing. One of the priorities of our body is to digest, so it will focus its energy on finishing this process. Smoothies and natural juices reduce the workload of our digestive system, which allows directing that energy to the detoxification processes. That is, the nutrients in these drinks (in addition to being essential for our health) are absorbed quickly and then our body can carry out other functions. If you start your day with a smoothie, your body will have more time to continue the repair process that it started while you slept. This means that you will be giving your body more hours to continue in that self-healing mode.
Whether in the form of a smoothie, juice, tea or some other tonic, foods of plant origin offer us an excellent alternative to heal, to recover energy and to keep our body free of toxic elements and substances. In our blog you will find some recipes to prepare healthy drinks and keep you on the road to health. So cheers for your health!
