Hey there, viewers! Blood is the lifeline that transports all sorts of materials throughout your
body. If you want to remain healthy, you need to pay attention to your diet and lifestyle.
No, you don’t need to buy tons of detox supplements. Simple dietary changes will do.
In today’s video, we’re going to talk about different ways to clean your blood. Why is eating
garlic on the top of our list? Can coffee really help with blood purification? What about ginger,
blueberries, and grapefruit? We’ll be discussing all of these AND more...
1. Garlic Garlic is one of the best foods to
have if you’re looking to clean your blood. It has a compound called allicin that is activated when
you consume raw garlic. This compound is the key to ensuring the liver is protected from toxins,
which in turn help filter your blood. Everyone knows blood is vital for the
human body. It carries all the necessary nutrients and oxygen to the cells,
ensuring all waste products are redirected away from those cells. It’s important to make sure your
blood is filtered from all the toxins it carries. Garlic also has antimicrobial properties,
which not only help purify the blood, but also ensures your intestines are free of
parasites and viruses. It’s also known to help reduce your chances of cardiovascular disease.

2. Water Water seems like a very
basic suggestion, but it should be mentioned. A lot of people ignore drinking water, and only do
it when they’re really thirsty. You should be drinking regularly to keep yourself hydrated,
as well as help your body clean up your blood. Kidneys get the help of urine to flush out
toxins from the body, but it can only do it if there’s enough water in your body.
Water ensures all the harmful chemicals and toxins are removed. Experts suggest you need
to be producing around 6 cups of urine every day. Drinking enough water also ensures the PH level
of your blood is maintained so that there is no difficulty in removing the toxins. It’s
recommended that at least 8 to 10 glasses of water should be consumed each day.

3. Broccoli Broccoli is not everyone’s favorite vegetable.
While it doesn’t taste great, it’s one of the most important vegetables you can have, especially if
you want to help your body clean up the blood. Broccoli has a number of important nutrients such
as Vitamin C, manganese, calcium and phosphorus. These can help flush the toxins out from your
body. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli are also known to reduce the chances of kidney cancer.
When you consume broccoli on a regular basis, you will be giving your body a lot of antioxidants.
Antioxidants can help remove the toxins and boost your immune system.
There are so many ways you can enjoy broccoli. You can add it to your salad or eat it raw. They’re a
versatile vegetable that you can steam, bake or grill. You can even add it to your soup or
casserole. Just don’t boil the broccoli. Cooking it at a high temperature destroys
all the nutrients. 4. Beetroot
Beetroot is another vegetable with a natural cleansing agent that can remove the toxins
from your blood. It’s packed with antioxidants as well as Vitamins A and B6, which can reduce
the chances of inflammation in your body. It can also protect your liver from oxidative damage.
Along with producing the enzyme that can help detoxify your body, beetroot juice
also reduces your blood pressure. In one study, two groups of participants were given either 70
mL of nitrate-rich beetroot juice, or a placebo. The group with the beetroot juice saw their blood
pressure decrease by 5 more mL of mercury (mm Hg) than that of the placebo group.
This happened just after 30 minutes of drinking the juice. However,
it may not have the same effect on people who are already taking meds to lower their blood pressure.
5. Apple, Guava, and Grapefruit Fruits such as apple and guava have
a fiber called pectin that can help clean the blood. The pectin binds to excess fats,
as well as any heavy metals or harmful chemicals, and gets rid of them in an efficient manner.
Grapefruit can also help cleanse your blood. It’s high in antioxidants and can reduce the chances of
inflammation in your body. Research has shown that grapefruit can make sure the liver is kept safe,
especially after drinking lots of alcohol. Before we move ahead, here’s another video you

6. Blueberries Blueberries aren’t
just a delicious fruit. They also have highly beneficial antioxidants that can protect your
liver from damage. Studies have found this wonderful fruit can help keep your liver healthy.
You can snack on fresh or frozen blueberries. Don’t like the taste much? Well, you can mix them
into yogurt, oatmeal, or a smoothie. 7. Cranberries
Cranberries are well known for their benefits on your urinary tract.
This fruit has the power to prevent bacteria from attaching itself to your urinary tract,
which keeps your kidneys safe from infections. You can eat cranberries on their own
or add a handful to your breakfast smoothies, oatmeal, or fruit salad.
8. Coffee Surprised to see coffee on the list?
Well, so were we when we first found out drinking coffee can have protective effects on your liver.
Research has proven that drinking coffee lowers the risk of cirrhosis in people with
chronic liver disease. In fact, it can even reduce your risk of developing liver cancer.
Coffee can also help people with hepatitis C. All the positive health effects of
coffee are due to its ability to prevent the accumulation of fat and collagen in your liver.
Drinking coffee is good for your health, but just remember not to have too much. Limit it to just a
couple cups a day. 9. Fish
Fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids are great for your health. If you want to purify
your blood, include fish like tuna, salmon, or sardines in your daily diet. Omega-3 fatty acids
lower your blood pressure and decrease blood triglyceride levels. This makes this nutrient
super great for both your kidneys and liver. Here’s a word of caution though. Fish are also
high in protein. If you already have kidney disease, you should restrict
any high-protein foods you eat. Eating too much protein makes your kidneys work harder.
10. Ginger
Ginger is great for helping your body control its blood sugar levels. It also helps treat
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. You can drink ginger tea, or add some ginger to your recipes.
Fresh or powdered ginger can add some distinct flavor to your food.
11. Lifestyle Changes
Apart from eating special foods, there are other things you can do to strengthen your liver and
clean your blood. For instance, getting yourself vaccinated for Hepatitis A and B can ensure
the viral infections won’t damage your liver. Similarly, you should try not to drink too much
alcohol. Your liver will have to put in extra effort to detox. When the alcohol content is
high in your body, it can lead to scarring of your liver and even end up destroying your liver cells.
If you want your liver to work, it’s important to maintain a healthy weight. When you’re overweight,
you might end up with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. If it’s not treated at an early stage,
it can lead to cirrhosis, which will stop your liver from detoxifying.
Drug addiction is another serious threat to your liver, as it has to filter out the toxins
produced from drug use. People with drug habits run the risk of permanently damaging the liver.
While there may be many detox products in stores, all you need is a healthy diet and
lifestyle for your liver to function at its best level. And of course, drinking enough water every
day is key to ensuring the toxins are removed. Avoiding toxins from alcohol and drugs can help
keep your liver healthy. This will keep your blood clean. If you’re suffering from a kidney
condition, it’s important to speak to your doctor before making any wild changes to your diet.
