Toxic heavy metals are virtually everywhere, and are present in things we come in contact with every day, such as aluminium foil, metal cookware, paint, light globes, drinking water, dental amalgams, and even the foods we eat.⠀ ⠀ They really can cause a whole host of tricky health issues. Yes your body does have an inbuilt detoxification system, including your liver BUT it is not designed to cope with the continuous toxin exposure we have in modern life. So, it's a great idea to give it a bit of a helping hand!⠀ ⠀ Sharing one of the many great recipes from the wonderful Alexx Stuart at Low Tox Life. ⠀ ⠀ Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie (serves 2)⠀ ⠀ • 1 bunch coriander (whole bunch, stalks and all) ⠀ • 1/2 bunch parsley⠀ • 1/2 bunch mint⠀ • 1 tablespoon chlorella or a high quality super greens powder (NON ASIAN ORIGIN due to the Fukushima nuclear disaster) Republica Organic has a great one. ⠀ • 1 cucumber⠀ • 500ml coconut water, or cooled tea or water⠀ • the juice of 1/2 a lemon and 1/2 a lime⠀ • 3-4 ice cubes ⠀ ⠀ Blend it all up for a good minute on high (Thermomix is 40secs, sp 9) and enjoy a small glass each as this serves 2-3 people. You could pop leftovers from 1 in a couple of jars to enjoy throughout the day / 2 days and have a few sips each day for a couple of weeks.⠀ ⠀ Enjoy!
