How this recipe detoxifies the body
The key detoxifying vegetables in this bean salad include Kidney and Black beans, onions and Cilantro. The beans are very high in fiber which adds bulk to the stool supporting the function and elimination of the large intestine. Onion is from the Allium family and supports the immune system. The role of the immune system is to detoxify pathogens including fungi, bacteria and parasites. Margaret Sears (2013) published a review in the Scientific World Journal that Cilantro from the leaves of Coriandrum sativum, is known for its ability to enhance mercury excretion and was shown in an animal study to decrease lead absorption.
