How to Detox from Heavy Metals & Powerful Detox Smoothie(PART TWO)

Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie

My heavy metal detox smoothie contains the following ingredients:

Cilantro

Use cilantro (coriander) in conjunction with chlorella. Eating cilantro alone can cause a huge mobilization of heavy metals the body cannot handle. Thus, adding chlorella will help eliminate the bigger loads. Some studies have suggested that the combination of cilantro and chlorella can naturally remove an average of 87% of lead, 91% of mercury, and 74% of aluminum from the body within 42 days.

Again, you need to involve an expert to make sure you design the right protocol for yourself.

Chlorella

Eating chlorella can help you detox. Chlorella is a potent detox agent for mercury and other heavy metals. Animal studies showed that mice eating chlorella together with methylmercury improved their ability to excrete mercury twofold compared to those that didn’t consume it.

It’s best to take chlorella in the morning and do it regularly. Some experts suggest starting with a smaller dose (500 milligrams) and then building yourself up to 4 grams a day, so that you receive the full detox benefit. Purchase a product of a good quality that your body can digest – digestible forms of chlorella usually carry a description ‘broken cell wall’, which indicates that chlorella was made digestible by breaking its indigestible cell membrane.

You can purchase chlorella at your local health store but make sure that you purchase raw and organic chlorella like this one.

Chlorophyll

I’ve previously written about the powerful healing properties of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll helps to detoxify your body by connecting with the toxins and free radicals and turning them into neutral materials. Studies have shown that it helps in detox your body from heavy metals, pesticides and industrial pollutants.

In order to retain maximum chlorophyll in food you should eat it raw or cook/steam it slightly. If you can retain the green color, you will retain the beneficial chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is found in all green vegetables.

The darker the green, the more chlorophyll it has. Drinking green smoothies is also one of the 70 habits featured in my e-book 70 Powerful Habits For A Great Health which will guide you how to take positive steps to improve your wellness and overall health.

Water

You’ll find that consuming water is going to play a big role in your daily detox. This is because water not only help transport vitamins and minerals throughout the body, but also flush the toxins through the organs more efficiently. Water is by far one of the most important daily habits for detoxing every day and is also one of the top 10 ways to detox your body.

Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie Recipe

A bunch of parsley or cilantro (Cilantro is AMAZING for removing heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum, and lead)
1 tsp. organic chlorella powder
A handful of spinach or chard (Chard is full of phytonutrients which nourish our cells to remove waste and aid in detox)
A handful of mint
1 tablespoon tahini
Optional: flaxseed or chia seeds (for the addition of omega- 3). Both flaxseed and chia seeds are true superfoods that are also featured in my e-book about superfoods which is part of the Natural Health Revolution Program. This program will help you to achieve your health, nutrition or weight loss goals.
Cool water as needed depending on the desired consistency.
Honey to taste

Put all the ingredients in a blender without the water, blend and add the water gradually until you have reached the consistency you want.

Other Foods for Prevention of Heavy Metal Poisoning

Fish

Fish absorb heavy metals from polluted waters and can be heavily contaminated by the time they reach your plate. Bigger fish, such as tuna, king mackerel, shark and swordfish, are particularly problematic.

Most fish and shellfish contain traces of mercury, but the concentration gets higher when the fish is older and larger and of a predator type. Since fish is our best source of omega-3 fatty acids, you’ll need to carefully weigh up the pros and cons of fish consumption and choose your fish wisely.

Organic fruits and veggies

Eat as much organic fruits and veggies as possible. Eat lots of dark, leafy greens such as dandelion, mustard, collard, beet greens, spinach, kale, watercress, bok choy, escarole (endive) and Swiss chard, and get a good source of dietary vitamin B (sunflower seeds, eggs, walnuts, almonds, whole grains and asparagus). Also, enjoy some probiotics, so you can absorb the nutrients and vitamins that will protect your body. If possible, eat organic meats, poultry and eggs, so you avoid ingesting antibiotics and hormones.

Steps to Take to Avoid Heavy Metal Poisoning

As mentioned before, some sources claim that you need to consider your dental work and talk to your dentist about the possibility of replacing amalgam fillings.
Be aware that some vaccines still contain mercury (mercury-based preservative thimerosal). See if there is a thimerosal-free alternative available.
Avoid heavily polluted areas as much as possible and drink filtered water.
You might not be aware of some sources of heavy metals. Old paint, for example, was often made with lead and is still found in many places; it can become problematic if the walls are chipping.

You can get more information about detox in my e-Book The Detox Guide. This e-Book will help you to discover the most effective methods to neutralize harmful toxins from your body.

If you are concerned about a specific heavy metal poisoning, get tested. And remember, this will not get fixed overnight. The process should be a slow one, and some people might need a few years to get rid of all the toxins.
