19 Foods to Naturally Detox Radiation
When disaster strikes, many rush out and buy the saving grace without exactly knowing its proper use or why they are buying it. We often don’t think of something like radiation exposure until there is a looming threat. But, there are steps we can take all along to minimize and reverse damage from the many forms of radiation we encounter everyday.
The following are some simple food choices that can help your body combat radiation exposure on a regular basis. Some of them aid your body in sweeping out toxins, while others are nutrient-dense in vital minerals. If you’d rather not memorize or print the list, then strive to add more raw, living foods and dark leafy vegetables to your routine, but there are even more useful choices below. You can also go to a website like All Recipes and type some of the ingredients. The site will create a recipe that contains those ingredients.

With radioactive isotopes detected in rainwater in Minnesota and other states, some people are looking into iodine supplements and other ways to protect the long-term health of their families.
While there are a lot of drawbacks to using iodine, there are plenty of foods that naturally protect our bodies from radiation.
Here’s 19 of the best:
- Brown rice
- Seaweed
- Kelp
- Miso
- Pumpkin
- Spirulina
- Bee pollen
- Wheat grass
- Rosemary
- Blue-green algae
- Beets
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Alfalfa sprouts
- Broccoli
- Onions
- Olive oil
- Leafy greens
- Apples and other sources of pectin
These foods protect the body from radiation in different ways. For instance, brown rice is high in fiber and phosphorous, which help remove harmful toxins from the body. Sea vegetables contain a polysaccharide that binds to radioactive strontium to help eliminate it from the body, as well as being high in natural iodine. Pectin has also been shown to bind to radioactive residues, and Cysteine (in onions) binds with and deactivates radioactive isotopes. Alfalfa sprouts and greens are high in chlorophyll, which has been shown to help protect against radiation damage, as well.Keep in mind that you should aim for organic and be aware of the sources. For example, fresh sprouted alfalfa sprouts from your windowsill are preferable to those shipped from thousands of miles away (and possibly doused with those isotopes).
For further reading and more suggestions, I recommend this article from Live Well Naturally: Protect Yourself from the Damaging Effects of Radiation and this Facebook list from Heal Thyself with dozens of natural supplements.

I really appreciate your list of natural foods that detox for Radiation. They are excellent foods to add to our regular diet for many reasons.
= I’m learning to cook with Wild Rice more often & find it very filling.
= I’m found a great source for a delicious seaweed drink called LimuPlus.
= I’m including a lot more fresh vegetables & fruits in my daily diet.
= I even made a Pumpkin-Vanilla Smoothie the other day.
Thanks for the great tips.
I really appreciate your list of natural foods that detox for Radiation. They are a much healthier choice than Iodine. They are also healthy choices for many reasons in addition to Radiation.
I have been adding many of these foods to my regular diet.
= I’m enjoying cooking with Wild Rice more and pleased with how I’m not hungry for 3 or more hours after I eat it.
= I found a great source for a delicious seawood drink. I enjoy a shot glass of it twice a day.
= I’m adding more fruits & vegetable to my diet.
= I made a delicious smoothie with Pumpkin & Vanilla Shake mix the other day.
Thanks a bunch.
Hello-
I wrote a little piece about seaweed this week for my blog; thank you for this piece.
Would love to know the source for this fantastic information re: which foods are good for specific radioactive elements.
Thank you again!
Carol
Thanks!
and Yes Please, I agree, what is the Source for this information please?
For those asking for the source, perhaps you didn’t notice the URL at the bottom of the page?
It’s not a link, but you can just copy and paste it into your browser address bar to see the original story from The Examiner.
I’ve wondered about Beets. I’ve read that they have iodine AND that they’re somewhat goitrogenic. Can you be more explicit about them?
I make a Kvass with them.
Thank-you very much for the enlightenment!! I have sent this FYI to my friendsp in Nippon.

Thankee so much …

You recommend leafy greens, but other experts advise avoiding leafy greens because they absorb radiation during fallout. Most leafy greens come from California, and would not be suitable. Please clarify. Also, it would be important to not sunflower seeds are an excellent choice to eat as long as you get them now before they become ccontaminated with radiation.
“Remedies for Radiation Contamination
Here are the things that effectively helped me reduce radioactive toxins and symptoms in my body: Organic no-salt raw cheeses eaten frequently will help absorb and neutralize free-radical radioactive minerals; aloe vera gel eaten directly from the plant (do not eat green skin) helps soothe and heal radiation burn; oranges and avocados eaten together help neutralize radiation; pineapple and no-salt raw cheeses eaten together help dissolve cellular radiation damage and harness byproducts; papaya eaten with no-salt raw cheeses helps prevent scarring; no-salt raw butter eaten with no-salt raw cheeses
helps prevent radioactive minerals from entering cells; no-salt raw butter eaten with unheated honey helps digestion and healing; and one ounce of raw milk consumed once hourly helps protect intestines and nerves.

THANK YOU FOR THIS, NOW I CAN SHOW MY HUSBAND IN BLACK AND WHITE THAT I AM NOT CRAZY. HE DOESN’T LIKE THE BROWN RICE, BUT HE’LL GET USE TO IT. I TRY TO TAKE OLIVE OIL EVERYDAY, A BIBLE FOOD, AND GARLIC.
Brown rice detoxing you from radiation? It contains little antioxidants and is filled with anti-nutrients that bind minerals in the intestines, such as phytates. I encourge everyone who is interested on the topic to search for “Ray Peat” on Google, go to his website, and read his “articles section”. He has articles there on radiation. There is no safe amount for radiation, even the new digital dental xrays are likely to cause cancer and dementia decades after they are done.
THE FOOD IN JAPAN IS FUKUSHIMA.
Can’t detox with it.
