chock-full of the prebiotic fibre inulin, which
binds to waste products and helps flush
them from the bowels,” Dohring says.As well as keeping your digestive system
in good nick, artichokes can also support
liver function and the production of bile,
which helps dispose of waste from
the digestive tract.asparagus
“Asparagus is an excellent source of inulin,
which helps feed the good bacteria living in
your digestive tract,” Dohring explains. It’s
also full of folate, vitamin C and carotenoids
to support liver detoxification and assist
the kidneys, bowel and skin when it comes
to clearing out toxins.beetroot

the natural elimination of waste through
