Foods that help repair the liver

in liver •  7 years ago 

This is a follow-up to a blog post I did several months back for those that want to quit or cut down on alcohol consumption. The top five foods that help repair the liver.

  1. Garlic: Although it doesn't smell very good garlic activates liver enzymes helping the body flush out toxins. Garlic has allicin and selenium, natural compounds for cleansing liver.

  2. Grapefruit: Vitamin C and antioxidants that help cleanse liver

  3. Beets/Carrots: Beta carotene supports liver function

  4. Leafy Green Vegetables: Chlorophyll soaks up toxins in the blood stream.

  5. Avocados: Avocados produce glutathione, a compound made by three amino acids which is necessary for the liver to cleanse toxins.

Lastly it is important to drink plenty of regular old water.download.jpg
