C is for: CARROTS
Because they’re also rich in glutathione, carrots are another super powerful detoxing vegetable! They’re also loaded up with helpful beta-carotenes and vitamin A, which help improve immune function.

S is for: SPINACH
Spinach is the perfect base for your super detoxing salad, as the leafy green has HUGE amounts of handy detoxing compounds, but only when eaten raw! It also contains twice as much iron as other leafy greens.
