The liver is the most important detox organ and as such should be treated with tender loving care during a detox program. There are many ways to do a liver detox but you may find that some are more acceptable than others for your own personal tastes.

Each one of the foods below will serve to cleanse and act as a tonic for an effective liver detox. If you want to include all of these in your program that’s fine but you must take at least two each day. You can vary the ones you rake but make sure you have at least two:

• Eat a medium bunch of red grapes.
• Eat a fresh garlic clove (in your food, not on its own). Or take an odorless garlic tablet every day – a high dose tablet is best.
• Drink a medium glass of either pure carrot or pure beetroot juice (or mix the two). You can make the juice yourself (if you have a juicer) or buy fresh juices from health food shops.
• Drink two cups of fennel or dandelion tea.

The other major detox organ is the kidneys. The kidneys balance the body’s fluid levels, acidity and alkalinity. Each of the following will boost your kidneys and help the overall program. Again, you may vary your choice but you must have two per day:

• Have a teaspoon of fresh honey in a cup of hot water. Sip it slowly.
• Drink a medium glass of freshly squeezed cranberry juice (you may wish to add some honey to sweeten) or take a cranberry tablet supplement. NB: Fresh cranberries are generally only available in the winter months, so you may find it easier to take the supplement the rest of the year.
• Eat a large handful of fresh blackcurrants or drink a glass of fresh blackcurrant juice.
• Eat a handful of dried apricots.

These are all very powerful foods that will help with your liver detox, and should help make a noticeable improvement to your health wellbeing.
