15. Apples
Apples are high in pectin and other compounds that are essential to cleanse and release toxins from within your digestive tract. Apples make things easier for your liver. Always choose organic apples as conventional apples are loaded with pesticides.
16. Garlic

Eating more of broccoli and cauliflower will help your body to increase the number of enzymes in your system to flush out not only toxins, but other carcinogens as well.
