Dr Lori's Super Green Detox Soup

 

This alkalizing green soup has everything you need to promote further detox with a rich blend of nutrients, alkalizing greens, delicious taste and vibrant green color. I added kale for an extra nutrient load, especially protein, calcium and antioxidants.

Broccoli is a power player when it comes to detoxing. When we chew it, the compound sulphoraphane is produced, switching on our cellular detox pathways that optimize total health.

The leafy greens such as the spinach contains magnesium. Most individuals are deficent in this precious mineral.

Magnesium plays a significant role in our detoxification processes, preventing possible damage to your body and brain from environmental toxins and heavy metals. Even your body’s “master antioxidant,” glutathione, requires magnesium for its production.

Additonally, the fiber in all of the veggies is highly beneficial to our gut health. Our gut is the key to every aspect of health including brain health, mood, weight, immune response and more.

We need to alkalize our cells as we are bombarded with either the types of acid-producing foods we choose, toxins from the environment, medications and more. Switching to a more alkalizing way of living can reap huge health benefits for all and this soup will help in a powerful way!
