so what is good for detox and still easy on your body system?
it's daikon!
daikon is a long shaped white radish,
and relatively yang vegetable(more warming) since it grows under the ground,
has been used digestive aid for centuries in Asia, or to reduce fever, and many other purposes.
grated daikon is especially beneficial to dissolve excess fat and mucus.
in fact, at Japanese restaurants, tempura or grilled fish is always served with grated daikon, which enhances the flavor but the true reason is, to help digestion and dissolve excess fat.
here is a Macrobiotic "after holiday detox drink(soup)"
grate daikon and carrot--about half cup
add them to boiling water, simmer for a few minutes
add a few drops of soy sauce (or tamari)
add umeboshi plum and a sheet or nori (optional)
drink while warm.
this tasty drink is a warming and comfroting, perfect afternoon snack.
try this "detox" drink after you had fish or meat or any fatty food : )
