Good for just about everything, garlic is on many detox diet lists, and for good reason. Garlic not only improves your immune system, but it helps to detoxify the liver. Perhaps one of the best things about garlic is that you can eat lots of it, and often, and never worry about your body building a resistance or tolerance of it.

Garlic is just as powerful a detox if you eat it once a week or once every hour. It’s the sulfur compounds in garlic that make it smell so strong, but also make it so great at detox. The antibiotic properties in garlic will also help to heal your body from any damage caused by eating those more toxic food listed above.

Garlic is at its best and its strongest when eaten raw, so if you don’t have any plans for kissing, crush a clove or two just a bit to release the oils, then swallow them whole. If that’s a bit much for your taste buds, then add garlic to just about everything; soup, salads, stir fries, eggs, stews, you name it.

    There is bacon out now with no artificial ingredients or nitrates. I’m starting to wonder about the research that goes into some of these articles.
