Help Your Liver Cleanse And Detox As You Eat


Your body does have toxins of which some are eliminated naturally by the body, but there are times some aren’t eliminated. The liver, which is responsible for the elimination process, has become overloaded and overworked due to many factors such as stress, processed foods, and other chemicals, hence making it impossible to eliminate toxins and fat in an efficient way. The Liver is the organ most responsible for helping your body burn fat for energy, when it is clogged with toxins, your metabolism suffers.


You don’t have to struggle to eat to benefit your liver, just add certain foods to your meals that will naturally cleanse the liver and eliminate any toxins from the body.


Some of these foods include:
1. Green leafy vegetables.
Vegetables are essential in our meals, especially green leafy vegetables like lettuces, spinach and kale. Also beneficial is eating cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. Whether eaten raw or cooked, the chlorophyll in them soaks up the toxins in the blood stream and also neutralizes any chemicals and heavy metals.  They also have a compound that reduces inflammation and reduces the risk of getting diseases by offering the liver a protective mechanism. 


2. Beetroot
It contains inorganic nitrate, which is good for liver cleansing as it converts to nitric oxide, which is also good for lowering the blood pressure and the functioning of the blood vessel lining.  The red color in beetroots is caused by a chemical called betalains which promote cells structure, repair, and regeneration of the liver and supports detoxification.


3. Turmeric
This old spice is loaded with curcumin compound which helps in doing away with the iron overload which is toxic to the liver and spleen. It also reduces bile duct blockage and curbs fibrosis by interfering with the chemical structure involved in the inflammatory process.


4. Avocados
They do contain glutathione, and healthy monosaturated fatty acids that will block the absorption of certain fats that cause oxidative damage to the intestines. Avocados help in the cleansing of the liver pathway and cleansing it of harmful toxins.


5. Garlic
A small amount of garlic in your food has beneficial benefits to the body and the liver.  It contains flavonoids that help the body to produce glutathione, which is one of the liver antioxidants and helps the body flush out toxins.


6. Lemons and lime

They contain an antioxidant called de-limonene and high amounts of vitamin C which help the body transfer toxic material to be absorbed by water. Taking lemon water first thing after you wake up stimulates the liver enzymes to eliminate toxins from the body and fasten sluggish bowel.


7. Water
The recommended intake of water is 8 glasses per day so as that the body is hydrated and flushes away any toxins.  Water helps in filtering any waste products in the body through the kidneys, and this makes the liver concentrate on its function.
