What Is A Green Tea Detox?

As we know detox's come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and not all of them are good for our health.

The green tea detox is one of those exceptions.

Generally speaking you could use it in any way you like, but one of the easiest ways is to drink nothing but green tea and whole, natural organic foods for a couple of weeks. Get rid of all alcohol, precoessed foods and high fatty or sugary foods.

While a green tea detox will not actually flush out toxins from the body, according to Arizona Cancer Center’s H.H. Sherry Chow, PhD D, there will be an increased production of GST enzymes that will help convert carcinogens to non-toxic chemicals, which basically means all the damaging chemicals in the body will be neutralized.

Other than polyphenols, green tea is also packed with vitamins and minerals. It is an effective diuretic, to stimulate the cleansing process, while hydrating the body. A green tea detox improves digestion so that food is broken down efficiently into energy, the toxins separated and flushed out and the necessary nutrients absorbed for good health.
