Cilantro is packed full of antioxidants, and is known to bind mercury, and remove the harmful heavy metals in your body. Make sure you use both the leaves and the stems of cilantro, as both contain necessary ingredients which help counter the harmful effects of heavy metals. In addition to sprinkling fresh cilantro onto food, you can also make a fresh cilantro pesto, and use this in salads and pasta, over fish and meat, etc.

Garlic is another powerful natural cleanser, which is also good for the liver, and for lowering blood pressure. Chop it up, and use it in savoury dishes, where it will always blend in and enhance the flavour of anything you eat. You can also roast garlic in its skin, then peel it, and spread the softened cooked garlic on crusty toasted bread, for a quick and healthy detox snack.

Onions are known for being anti fungal and anti bacterial, and are great for detoxing harmful metals like mercury naturally. While they taste good cooked, onions should be consumed raw during a detox diet. Raw onions will naturally work great in foods like salad and salsa, so make sure you consume plenty of these.

Other slightly eccentric but powerful ingredients which can help with detoxing heavy metals naturally include Burdock (a root that prevents cancer, cleanses the liver, and binds mercury), and Bentonite clay (an ancient and extremely effective ingredient for purifying the body of heavy metals and toxins). Try incorporating both into your detox diet for optimum results.

Water might seem like an obvious method, but drinking plenty of water is essential for helping the detoxing process along. As you consume natural foods that will rid your body of toxins, the water you drink will help flush them out of your system, thus purifying your body.
