foods that work even better than apple cider vinegar for your health

 Magnesium, especially when combined with zinc, is the perfect one-two detox combo, according to Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, a naturopath, doctor, author, and medical advisory board member for the Nutritional Magnesium Association. “Magnesium stimulates cell activity so that toxins are released into the bloodstream while zinc acts as a strong antioxidant which helps destroy ‘free radicals’ in the body and at the same time removing heavy metals,” she explains. You can find magnesium in spinach, almonds, and dark chocolate but if you’re looking to get a larger dose without eating cups of greens, try dissolving magnesium citrate in water. Bonus: Magnesium’s science-backed benefits include calming and relaxation properties.
