Summary:
- Garlic contains vitamin B-6, according to SF Gate, which works as an anti-inflammatory. The amino acids relax the blood vessels.
- Just one glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice can boost the creation of detoxification enzymes. They work to get rid of carcinogens and other toxins, according to the Huffington Post.
- Leafy Green Vegetables are one of the best things to consume if your intention is to cleanse the liver. The best part about them is there are several ways they can be prepared. Greens can be eaten raw in a salad, cooked, or juiced.
- Avocados are a nutrient-dense food that helps the body to create glutathione, according to holistic nutritionist Hermeet Suri. It also contains Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Combined, these nutrients act as an antioxidant and protect the cells of the liver from harm.
- Nuts aid normal liver cleansing actions and contain unsaturated fats which are healthy. These can help prevent accumulated fat in the liver, and to develop strong cell membranes in the liver cells.
- Turmeric protects the bile duct and increases bile flow. It can also prevent alcohol and toxins from converting into compounds that can damage the liver.
- Drinking a glass of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice in the morning can stimulate the liver.
- Green tea possesses many health benefits. If you want to make the switch to green tea, make sure to stick to the drink. This means you shouldn’t use green tea extract because research has shown that the extract may actually have negative effects on the liver.
- According to a study conducted for the World Journal of Gastroenterology, berries (specifically blueberries and cranberries) contained anthocyanins. These antioxidants have been shown to demonstrate “anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory biological activity.”
- In a University of Iowa study, researchers found that mice who were given doses of ursolic acid, a compound found in apple skins, avoided developing liver disease related to obesity, even though they ate more than other mice in the study.
- A study published in the International Journal of Endocrinology showed that people with a higher amount of whole grains in their diet “tend to have a lower risk of many of the comorbidities associated with [Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease].”
- Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and even Brussel sprouts have been shown to protect the liver from damage and increase detoxifying enzymes in the organ in studies published in the Journal of Food Science and the World Journal of Gastroenterology.
- According to a study published in the scientific journal Nutrients, beetroot juice has been shown to lower damage and inflammation in the liver. Like cruciferous vegetables, beet juice also increases the level of detoxifying enzymes.
- Drinking coffee regularly can “reduce [Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease] prevalence and inflammation of non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis”.
- The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in oily fish were shown to “reduce lipid accumulation and liver enzyme levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and have anti-inflammatory effects,” according to a study published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology.
- Staying well-hydrated is important enough for any function of the human body, but drinking enough water throughout the day can also keep your liver healthy.
