The Top 3 nutrients To Repair The Liver.
The liver is one of the most important organs in the human body and filters 1.4 litres of
blood every minute.
If you want to stay healthy, it's essential that you take care of your liver by eating
the right foods and nutrients so that it can do its job
In breaking down toxins into harmless particles,
Producing bile, which helps carry away waste and breaks down fat
Storing fat soluble nutrients like Vitamins A, D, E, K and B12
Along with over 500 other vital functions.

fatty deposits that may hinder it's performance.

1.
Choline The first and most vital nutrient on our list
in Choline.
Choline was recognised as an essential nutrient in 1998, when it was discovered that a deficiency
in this causes fatty liver disease and muscle damage.
Nowadays 1-4 people now suffer with a fatty liver, so it's vital to start consuming foods
that are rich in choline if you want to protect your liver.
The richest sources of choline include beef liver and other organ meats, pasture raised
eggs, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage and grass fed dairy.
Choline has a lipotropic effect, meaning that it helps to strip away fat from the liver
and prevent or reverse fatty liver disease.
2.
Methionine The second key nutrient to repair and protect
your liver is methionine
Methionine is an amino acid which helps the liver to repair itself from existing damage,
by supporting detoxification of harmful substances in your body.
This sulphur based nutrient helps protect the liver from acetaminophen poisoning, a
common painkiller drug also known as paracetamol.
Eating foods that are rich in methionine improves liver function by helping the organ produce
glutathione.
This is an extremely powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation in the liver and
throughout the body.
This can reduce pain and swelling in the joints, help to break down and remove alcohol from
the blood and liver, and also build important neurotransmitters in your brain.
Some of the best natural sources of methionine include eggs, sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, grass
fed cheese, chicken, and tuna.
3.
Sulforaphane The third item on our list is a phytonutrient
called sulforaphane.
Sulforaphane is one of the most important phytonutrients found in cruciferous vegetables
such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, radishes, cabbage, cauliflower and kale.
Inflammation in the liver can lead to insulin resistance, diabetes, cancer and life threatening
illnesses if left unchecked.
However, when you eat raw salad vegetables on a regular basis, the sulforaphane helps
to keep inflammation at bay, by helping support liver function.
It's important to note that cooking these vegetables can kill off some of the enzymes
that activate sulforaphane in your body, so try to eat them raw whenever you can.
An interesting fact is that broccoli sprouts, cauliflower sprouts and radish sprouts tend
to have around 100x more sulforaphane available than the full grown vegetables.
So try adding these to your salad to see some major improvements in your overall health.
