Heavy Metal Detox : Part 2
Upon discovering my lead exposure, one of the immediate steps I took was to integrate whole seed coriander tea into my daily routine. Each morning, I savored a cup of this revitalizing tea and even created a cold infusion to sip on throughout the day. Adding coriander seed powder to my meals became a delightful ritual as well. Why? Because coriander possesses remarkable antioxidant properties that play a crucial role in purging heavy metals and toxins from the body – like a dedicated “clean-up crew” that counteracts the detrimental effects of poor nutrition, pollution, and stress.
In ancient history, coriander seeds were associated with happiness, possibly due to their renowned ability to detoxify the body by eliminating waste, slag, and heavy metals. In essence, coriander provides us with newfound vitality.
Notably, when consumed, coriander unleashes its precious mineral salt compounds and an unexpected bonus: phytochemicals that actively target and eliminate toxic heavy metals from the brain. This process liberates neurons from the residue of these harmful substances, allowing them to function optimally. In essence, coriander empowers your brain to soar to its highest potential.
I introduced spirulina and barley grass wheat powder into my daily diet regimen. Spirulina, with its chelating properties, acts as a natural detoxifier, effectively binding to and eliminating metals from our bodies. The unique surface area of spirulina cells enables them to chelate metals and facilitate their removal via urine. Spirulina acts as a powerful heavy metal detox agent, drawing out metals from the brain, central nervous system, and liver, working in harmony with barley grass juice extract powder.
Barley grass juice extract, on the other hand, plays a vital role in preparing these metals for complete absorption by spirulina. This nutritive grass has the remarkable ability to draw heavy metals out of the spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid, and reproductive system.
One of my favorite ways to incorporate these detoxifying ingredients into my diet is by crafting a revitalizing smoothie using the following ingredients:
- 2 bananas
- 2 cups of wild blueberries
- A generous handful of fresh coriander
- 1 cup of pomegranate juice
- 1 teaspoon of barley grass juice powder
- 1 teaspoon of spirulina
- A small handful of Atlantic dulse seaweed
- Add water as needed to blend
This nourishing smoothie not only tantalizes the taste buds but also provides a powerful boost to your body’s natural detoxification process.
The final component I integrated into my wellness regimen involved regular sauna sessions and maintaining a consistent exercise routine. Sweating has been revered for its health benefits in cultures worldwide, exemplified by practices like Roman and Turkish baths, sweat lodges, and saunas. Recent studies have shown that spending just 15 minutes in a dry sauna at 200 degrees Fahrenheit can expel approximately 40 micrograms of lead from the body, and some individuals have managed to eliminate 100 micrograms or more through this process. Furthermore, engaging in aerobic endurance training has proven effective in reducing lead levels.
