{!firstname_fix}

Veggies are an excellent option when you are on a detox diet, which brings us to the superfood broccoli.

Broccoli is often thought of as a vegetable that you can have as a side dish. It may bring to mind soups, salads, or that food your kids won't eat. What it may not bring to mind is the idea of detoxing your body. Broccoli is actually an ideal vegetable to add to your detox diet, not only for the many benefits of the vegetable, but also for the ease of adding it to your diet. Here are some of those benefits and a few ways that you can add it into your daily diet routine. 

Benefits of Adding Broccoli to Your Daily Routine

There are many benefits to adding broccoli to your detox. One of the main benefits is the source of fiber that broccoli provides. This fiber can help your digestive system work properly and flush out the toxins in your body easily. This is essential in your detox process. It also helps with reduction of inflammation in the body. This can be vital if you have started a intense workout routine along with your detox plan. 

In addition to these benefits, broccoli also helps with constipation that may occur during the detox process or because of medications you may be on that you can't remove yourself from due to doctors suggestions regarding other health matters.

How to Add Broccoli to Your Daily Routine

One of the easiest ways to add broccoli to your diet is to add it in salads or in broccoli sprout form. You can grow your own broccoli sprouts as well making it easier to add them to your sandwich. Broccoli can be added to soups and stews as well. One of the best ways is to try adding it to your juicing, especially green juices. You can also add broccoli to your diet by simply eating a raw food meal once a day that has broccoli as part of the base of the meal. 

Broccoli can be grown indoors in small amounts and is hearty enough to grow through most of the year. You can buy it in most produce markets around the world and can store it easily. Make sure that any broccoli you use as a detox option is labeled organic non-GMO. This will make sure you aren't losing nutrients to preservatives and chemicals that may have been used in the growing and transporting process.
