Do you know the 13 best foods that naturally cleanse the liver?
Your liver performs more than 500 functions that keep your body healthy.
It's responsible for filtering out toxins and other harmful substances that enter your
body, as well as regulating blood sugar levels and cholesterol production.
If it becomes overloaded with toxins or damaged by disease, it can't do its job properly - which
means that all sorts of health problems may arise.
That's why it's so important to take care of this vital organ!
There are a number of ways you can help keep your liver healthy, from eating a healthy
diet to avoiding alcohol and drugs.
But there are also certain foods that have been shown to be particularly beneficial for
the liver - they're called "liver-friendly" foods because they contain nutrients like
vitamin A, omega 3 fatty acids, selenium and glutathione that support the liver.
Continue watching for the 13 best foods to cleanse your liver!

Walnuts are a great snack for those looking to detoxify their liver.
A study has found that walnut extract can help cleanse the liver of disease-causing
ammonia.
You'll also find high levels of l-arginine, glutathione, and omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts.
These nutrients help oxygenate your blood and detoxify your liver.

Garlic.
Garlic has been used as a medicinal herb since ancient times.
It contains numerous sulfur-containing compounds that activate the liver enzymes responsible
for flushing out toxins from the body.
This bulbous relative of the onion also contains allicin and selenium,
two powerful nutrients proven to help protect the liver from toxic damage, and aid it in
the detoxification process.
You can never have too much garlic in your diet!
Number 11.
Grapefruit.
Grapefruit is rich in natural vitamin C and antioxidants, two powerful liver cleansers.
Like garlic, grapefruit contains compounds that boost the production of liver detoxification
enzymes.
This citrus fruit also contains a flavonoid compound known as naringenin that causes the
liver to burn fat rather than store it.
Grapefruits are delicious on their own or with your favorite breakfast cereal, mixed
into salads, or even juiced.
Number 10.
Artichokes.
Artichokes are a delicious and nutritious vegetable that can protect your liver from
damage and promote growth of new tissue.
The cynarin, chlorogenic acid, and other compounds in artichokes increase the production of bile,
which helps remove harmful toxins from your liver.
If you want to live longer and healthier, eat more artichoke!
Number 9.
Leafy Vegetables.
Leafy greens are a great way to detoxify your body.
They can help remove heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides from the body.
Plus they improve bile flow which helps with digestion!

Avocados.
Avocados are delicious and healthy!
They're rich in glutathione-producing compounds and actively promote liver health by protecting
it against toxic overload and boosting its cleansing power.
Some research has shown that eating one or two avocados a week for as little as 30 days
can repair a damaged liver.
They taste amazing on toast or as guacamole dip, so there's no excuse not to try them
out today!
Number 7.
Turmeric.
Turmeric, one of the most powerful foods for maintaining a healthy liver, has been shown
to actively protect the liver against toxic damage, and even regenerate damaged liver
cells.
Turmeric also boosts the natural production of bile, shrinks engorged hepatic ducts, and
improves overall function of the gallbladder, another body-purifying organ.
Add turmeric into your diet by adding these spices to your meals or taking them as supplements.
Number 6.
Cold-pressed Oils.
Organic cold pressed, virgin oils such as coconut, olive oil, flaxseed or hempseed oils
have been shown to be beneficial for the liver.
When used in moderation, they help the body produce a lipid base that can suck up harmful
toxins.
By adding these healthy fats into your diet, you can take some of the burden off your liver,
and give it a break from processing so many toxins every day.
Number 5.
Beetroot.
Drinking beetroot juice is the perfect way to help you stay healthy and energized.
It helps activate liver enzymes, which increases bile production and helps the liver detoxify
harmful substances.
It also contains betalains that have been shown to reduce inflammation in the body,
as well as protect against liver damage.
Number 4.
Cruciferous Vegetables.
Eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage and
kale, will help flush out the toxins in your system.
These vegetables are a major source of glutathione - an antioxidant that triggers toxin cleansing
enzymes.
So if you want to get rid of those carcinogens and other toxins, eat up your cruciferous
veggies!
Number 3.
Whole grains.
Whole grains such as quinoa, teff, oats, are an excellent source of nutrients.
They're rich in B complex vitamins, which help with fat metabolism and liver function
as well as removing liver congestion.
So if you want to feel more energized all day long, eat healthy whole grains instead!
Number 2.
Lemons and Lime.
If you're looking for a refreshing drink to start your day, look no further.
Drinking freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice mixed in water in the morning will help stimulate
your liver.
These citrus fruits contain high amounts of vitamin C, which aids the body in synthesizing
toxic material into substances that can be absorbed by water.
Number 1.
Milk Thistle.
Milk Thistle is a traditional herbal medicine that has been used for centuries as a liver
tonic.
It’s high in silymarin, an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and immune-supportive properties.
Studies show milk thistle is effective in treating alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis
and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and can protect the liver from damage caused by toxins.
Take milk thistle to detox your liver today!
Eating these 13 foods is a great way to keep your liver functioning properly.
However, for best results, we recommend doing a liver cleanse.
Doing a liver cleanse at least 2 to 3 times a year will eliminate any foreign substances
that you may have trapped inside of your liver.
