Daily meals should consist of these foods to ensure a healthy functional body:

• VEGETABLES: Leafy green vegetables are known for their vital role in detoxifying the body especially the Liver and the Kidney. The Liver is responsible for the removal of toxins from the body. Constant consumption of Alcohol, smoking, processed foods are dangerous to the health of your liver.
