Detox For a Healthier Me

Over the past few days, I find myself thinking that I should take care of my health better simply because I am not getting any younger. I am already 30 years old and like it or not, my body's immune system will not always be at its optimum condition, especially if I don't make the effort to keep it at that state.

I am a "fried-food junky", a meat-eating couch potato who would not refuse a piece of fried chicken, a bag of fries or some slices of pizza any day. In short, i like food that are greasy and deep-fried, which I certainly know is bad for my health.

So, i keep thinking about trying out a 'detox diet', just to see if I can feel any improvement in my body, health-wise. I haven't done any thorough research about the types of food that can help detoxify the body but I've heard snatches of conversation that green tea is a detoxifying kind of beverage. Of course there are a number of fruits and vegetables that can help a lot in detoxifying the body, but since I'm not into those kinds of food, I still have to choose which among those I can actually eat on a daily basis (or as often as I can).

So far, the different kinds of food that are included on my list are:

Garlic
Apples
 Ponkan
Green Tea

Any suggestions? :)
