This week we are focusing on detoxing the body, mind, relationships, as well as our environment. But, before we can begin to detox anything in our lives, we must first start with our bodies.

Fortunately, eating cleansing food is easier than you may think. Below you will find the ten top foods to assist you in cleansing your body. Remember, it is imperative that the foods you consume in this cleansing process are all organic. Conventional foods are packed full of toxic pesticides, which is obviously counter-productive to the goal of detoxing!

These foods will provide nutritionally dense liquids that will flush nasty toxins out while pouring nutrients in. You will be adding lots of fiber to keep your gastrointestinal tract in shape. These foods will also provide energizing and cleansing enzymes to the liver, which is your body's detox headquarters.

Top 10 Detox-Definites

1. Green leafy vegetables. Eat lots of organic, raw, green, leafy vegetables. Green is the goddess of detox. These veggies will provide the necessary chlorophyll to clean out environmental toxins, as well as protect the liver.
2. Lemons. The most important vitamin for effective detoxing is vitamin C. Fresh lemon-water provides the fluid necessary to keep fluids moving throughout the body. Vitamin C will assist in converting toxins into a water-soluble that our body can easily eliminate.
