Once the liver is free from excess toxins, it can function more efficiently and better absorb the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals it needs.
Here are some ways to help your liver work at its best:
- Cut back on processed foods. Though tasty and appealing, they’re full of artificial additives that burden the liver.
- Focus on whole foods, quality animal proteins, fiber-rich veggies, nuts, and dried fruits.
- Avoid inflammatory cooking oils like canola, corn, soybean, and sunflower oil. Try to avoid frying food altogether.
- Drink at least 2 liters of water daily.
- Eat liver-friendly foods regularly, such as avocado, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, artichokes, carrots, and chia seeds.
- Eliminate refined sugar. Opt for natural alternatives like honey or coconut sugar.
- Add leafy greens to your meals.
- Make sure you’re getting enough protein and sulfur. Organic meats, wild fish, and cruciferous vegetables like cabbage are excellent sources.
- Include eggs in your diet — their amino acids are vital for liver health.
- Stay away from alcohol.
- Add turmeric to your food — it’s anti-inflammatory and full of antioxidants that support liver and overall health.
- Consider using milk thistle, a plant that helps protect liver cells from damage caused by alcohol, toxins, and viruses.
