Foods to Eat for Liver Health
There are certain foods that help to protect and detoxify the liver itself so that it can perform better to detox the entire body:
- Apples contain pectin which helps to bind and excrete heavy metals right off the intestines. This directly helps to reduce the load of filtration on the liver.
- Beets, carrots, red onions (your favorite) and aubergine contains flavonoids and beta-carotene which are potent antioxidants.
- Garlic contains allicin, an antioxidant and the mineral selenium. It assists the removal of heavy metals from the liver.
- Eggs, brown rice and whole grains, broccoli and spinach contain B-complex vitamins which improve liver function and promote liver decongestion. Vitamin B12 helps to metabolize fats and improves liver health.
- Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and lettuce contain glucosinolates which help the liver produce enzymes for detoxification.
- Grapefruits are rich in antioxidants and help in natural detoxification of liver.
- Bitter vegetables such as bitter gourd, dandelion greens, mustard greens and chicory promote the production and flow of bile.
Many factors determine whether the liver performs its critical functions well. Too much pressure on the liver from overeating rich or poor-quality food, environmental stresses, overwork or emotional stress can cause liver overload, leading to a decreased ability to clear toxins and hormones and manufacture bile. Foods which contain high levels of antioxidants help to protect the liver and keep it healthy while other foods cleanse the liver.
