I only write here when it’s worth it. Short thoughts, clear impulses – from nutrition to simple common sense. One principle: there is power in simplicity.
Every day, our body performs heavy lifting. It acts like a highly complex filter, processing nutrients and trying to eliminate everything harmful. However, in our modern world, this system can reach its limits. When we hear "Detox," many think of expensive green juices. But the truth is: The most effective detoxification systems are already inside you.
Here is how you can strengthen your body's own cleaning powers using simple, scientifically proven means from nature.
1. Glutathione: The Internal "Housekeeper"
The strongest detox system isn't found in a bottle, but in your cells. Every cell produces Glutathione. This molecule patrols your body, catches free radicals, and neutralizes toxins (even heavy metals like mercury) before they can cause damage.
How to boost your Glutathione levels:
Nutrition: Focus on cysteine-rich foods such as beef, poultry, salmon, halibut, and eggs.
Supplementation: An effective method is taking N-Acetylcysteine (NAC). Studies have shown that NAC can massively boost the body's own glutathione production.
2. Sulforaphane: The Power of Cruciferous Vegetables
Another power molecule is Sulforaphane. It activates Phase I and II detoxification enzymes in your body, helping to flush out pollutants faster.
Where is it found? Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale.
Insider Tip: The highest concentration is found in sprouts, especially Daikon radish sprouts (up to 30 times more than in broccoli!).
Important: Ideally, eat these vegetables raw to fully utilize the effect.
3. Spices as Medicine

Your kitchen is a pharmacy. Three spices stand out in particular:
Rosemary: Extract from rosemary can protect the liver and stomach from toxic influences.
Turmeric: New research from 2025 confirms that turmeric helps neutralize heavy metals and microplastics.
Coriander (Cilantro): Known for reducing the accumulation of heavy metals in the body.
4. The Green Helpers: Chlorella and Probiotics
Chlorella: This freshwater algae binds heavy metals as well as dioxins and helps to excrete them.
Probiotics: Good gut bacteria (especially Lactobacillus) can bind heavy metals right in the gut, preventing them from entering the bloodstream.
5. Underrated Support
These remedies can also work wonders:
Rooibos & Honeybush Tea: Can boost enzymes that help with detoxification.
Modified Citrus Pectin: Can help significantly increase the excretion of arsenic, cadmium, and lead.
Activated Charcoal: Acts like a sponge in the gut and binds toxins (use sparingly and specifically!).
"True health comes from habits, not deprivation."
Conclusion: Consistency over Radical Cures.
Integrate cysteine-rich foods, fresh sprouts, and the right spices into your daily life. Your body possesses brilliant tools for self-cleaning – simply give it the right materials to do the job.
