7 Foods To Help You Detox Radiation Naturally

Radiation is all around us. From the phone that you use everyday and keep it close while sleeping, your WiFi connection in the office and at home, the X-rays and MRIs, everything can harm your body without your knowledge. Here are some foods you can eat to detox your body from radiation:

1. Cruciferous Vegetables

Broccoli, cabbage, kale, and Brussels sprouts are great foods to ward off radiation. It removes all the elements of radiation and the effects by it.

2. Iodine

You’ve most likely already heard about the protective effects of iodine in thwarting radiation from binding to the thyroid gland. You should seriously consider having some iodine tablets on hand, as, for example, once word got out that the Fukushima fallout was hitting the West coast, tablets sold out quickly.

3. Coconut oil

Cocunut oil is very supportive of the thyroid gland and has been recommended for cancer chemo patients. It’s got antifungal and antiviral properties too, which can help the body defend against contamination. It’s also advised to use it topically on any skin that may be in danger of exposure to radiation, and that includes the sun’s ultra violet radiation.

Radiation can also increase our susceptibility to dehydration. And when we’re fighting off any unwelcome guests, it’s critical that we stay hydrated so that our body’s natural defenses are working properly. Even if you don’t feel thirsty (that means you’re already dehydrated, BTW), drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.

4. Brazil Nuts

One of the highest sources of Selenium in the world, these mineral-rich nuts are a smart snack to consume to prevent radiation poisoning. Selenium is extremely high in antioxidants, is known to have anti-cancer effects, and can also help detoxify the body, removing heavy metals such as Mercury.

5. Vitamin C

Absolutely vital for your immune system, vitamin C encourages the body to trigger its own defense system. Vitamin C actually strengthens your body at a cellular level. Think of  pouring cement over your cells, making it difficult or even impossible for anything to penetrate your defense system,  and it stops corrupted cells from growing and dividing. Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling believed that incredibly high doses of vitamin C (about 10,000 milligrams every day) could stop and even reverse just about any disease, including cancer. Keep in mind that although you cannot technically overdose on vitamin C, you will need to build up to higher doses as more than 2,000 mg often gives people diarrhea or nausea. Start slowly and build yourself up to whatever dosage your doctor has decided is safe.

6. Apples

Various studies show that apples bind with radioactive residues and remove them from your body. An apple a day keeps the doctors away, after all.

7. Garlic

Garlic contains a little bit of everything our bodies need. Rich in manganese, vitamin B, vitamin C, and fiber, garlic is low in calories and high in nutrients. The main compound found in the pod is Allicin, a component that is known for its anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant properties. Excellent for your digestive and circulatory systems, fresh garlic is even thought to play a role in preventing food poisoning by killing bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella. A truly wondrous natural detox food, garlic has been known to help treat everything from skin infections like ringworm and athletes foot to combatting blood clots and lowering cholesterol. It can even help you to lose weight faster by regulating the formation of fat cells.
