This often means saying goodbye to old habits and foods such as sugar<\/a>, alcohol<\/a> and in many cases even red meat and wheat<\/a>. Even if you’re not following a specific detox diet<\/a>, simply eliminating certain calorie-dense, nutrient-poor refined foods and eating more fruits, veggies and whole grains is incredibly energizing and invigorating. <\/p>\n

Beets<\/a> are definitely an item to add to your list of nutrient-dense foods<\/a> (detoxing or not). Think of them as tiny powerhouses of nutrition<\/a>.

The juice in beets contain betaine, which stimulates the function of liver cells and protects the liver and bile ducts — making them ideal for a detox.
