5 Heavy Metal Detox Ingredients for Smoothies
We all know that heavy metal in the body is not ideal.
Now, I’m not going to pretend to be a nutritionist or a health professional… but I think it’s fairly well known and accepted that excess amounts of heavy metals in the body can have a detrimental affect on one’s health and immune system.
Where having small amounts of heavy metals, such as iron and zinc, is crucial in the body… larger amounts can be toxic. Thankfully, there are foods that help detox the body of mercury, lead, chromium, cadmium, arsenic, and more.
