Cleansing Foods. I don't write at all about 'purges,' 'cleanses,' and 'de-toxification,' for the simple reason that I don't know a lot about these topics, although they are hugely popular points of discussion in Los Angeles, where a lot of food-fads and health-fads hang-out. Nevertheless, the lists of foods that are considered 'cleansing' always interest me.
Jordan Rubin, the author of The Maker's Diet, who runs a large nutrition-supplements company, offered this list in a recent issue of "Healthy Living," a free shopper mag in L.A.:
*Avocados
*Raw coconut cream
*Flaxseeds and Chia Seeds
*Raw cultured veggies (like sauerkraut)
*Fresh vegetable juices
*Blueberries
*Cucumbers
*Tomatoes
*Raw milk kefir and yogurt
You can use this list as a launching pad for your own examination of 'cleansing' foods--needless to say, there are no refined carbs on this list.
