Beef, poultry and pork are sources of contaminates unless thay are free-range on an organic farm.

Processed meats can contain high levels of sodium and other artificial addictives that may be toxic.

Being careful to drink enough water and being sure that the water is pure is another part of how to detox your body by avoiding toxins in the environment and by helping to remove toxins.
