Here are some recommendations to spring-clean your body and your kitchen:

Grapefruit. One medium grapefruit a day delivers the recommended daily dose of vitamin C for an adult. It also contains the phytochemicals naringenin and other flavonoids, limonen, beta-carotene, and lycopene.

Dark Green Leafy Vegetables. Spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, leaf lettuce, mustard greens, collard greens, chicory, and Swiss chard. They all boast a dazzling array of carotenoids, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, along with saponins and flavonoids. They also have some folate and fiber.

Broccoli. This and other cruciferous veggies – like brussel sprouts, rapini, red cabbage, and radishes – deliver excellent amounts of vitamin C. Some provide manganese and vitamin K. They produce large amounts of glucosinolates, that are big-time body detoxifiers.

Apples. The antioxidant punch of apples comes mostly from quercetin, a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Don’t peel them – the peel is full of triterpenoids. And apples are also a good source of fiber and vitamin C.

Grapes and Grape Juice. Both are rich sources of the polyphenol known as resveratrol, which research indicates possesses strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties – and aggressively rids your body of toxins.
