it goes without saying that the liver is one of the most vital organs in the human body
its main responsibility is to get rid of toxins that are produced on a daily basis
and for most people since their diet is made up of a lot of processed foods and artificial
ingredients the liver has to work extra hard in order to keep everything functioning properly
when this is the case it leads to the question is it possible to detox the liver now i'm not
going to make things dramatic i'll get right to the point yes there are certain things
that we can all do to improve the health of our liver and that is exactly what we are
going to talk about in this video be sure to watch until the end because there's actually
one technique that not too many people know about so if you're ready let's get into it
just a quick reminder we are not doctors this video is for informational purposes only
one of the best ways to improve the health of your liver is to drink plenty of water now i
do realize that you're probably looking for some more complex ways to detox your liver
not to worry we'll get into a few here in a bit however an extremely simple and effective way
to improve your liver health is to make sure you're drinking enough water on a daily basis
that is because water helps the liver process and get rid of toxins more effectively
in fact those who aren't consuming enough water are actually putting a strain on their liver
without even realizing it not to mention dehydration has negative effects on pretty much
all of the other organs and systems of the body as well another way to give your liver a boost is
to increase your intake of fiber fiber plays a role in digestion and also facilitates the
removal of toxins from the body unfortunately a lot of times many of the foods that we eat are
stripped of their natural fiber content this means that they do not offer any support to the body
in getting rid of the toxins that would normally be discharged without having fiber in our diet all
these toxins end up in the liver this of course is not ideal with that said you can naturally
cleanse your liver simply by increasing the amount of fiber that you eat to do so you can try to add
more fruits and vegetables to your diet which leads to the next method that we need to discuss
which is to eat more leafy green vegetables not only are they loaded with fiber leafy green
vegetables contain other properties that offer benefits for the liver by breaking down molecules
into smaller substances this makes it easier for the body to flush toxins out of the system
some good examples include spinach kale collard greens bok choy and arugula you
will definitely begin to notice an improvement in your activity levels after increasing your intake
of these healthy vegetables another way to boost your liver is to increase your vitamin c intake
not only is vitamin c good for your immune system it has been shown to have positive
effects on the liver as well all you have to do is simply eat more citrus fruits such as oranges
lemons or grapefruit eating these fruits on a regular basis will replenish your body with the
antioxidants that it needs to help cleanse the liver in a natural way vitamin c also promotes
the production of enzymes that aid in the removal of unwanted toxins from the body another way is to
drink more green tea green tea has been consumed for hundreds of years due to its positive health
benefits it just so happens to be loaded with catechins which are a class of flavonoids that
serve as an antioxidant for the liver drinking two to three cups of natural green tea per day
can help cleanse the liver provide an energy boost and improve the quality of your overall health
the next method that you can consider is to add garlic to your diet garlic is a healthy ingredient
that is recognized in many cultures and cuisines for its beneficial properties it is rich in sulfur
that helps the liver by activating certain enzymes to remove toxins from the body selenium
is another compound found in garlic that has antioxidant effects simply adding garlic to
your diet while cooking is a great way to give your liver a detoxifying boost not to mention
it helps give your meals more flavor as well you can also consider adding turmeric
to your diet turmeric is an amazing spice that is widely consumed all around the world
but its therapeutic properties have only been discovered over recent years it is believed
that the addition of turmeric to your diet can promote the growth of new cells in the liver
his components provide anti-inflammatory effects as well keep in mind that turmeric is not a
substitute for proper medication and should always be secondary to your doctor's recommended medicine
but in order to increase your turmeric intake you can simply use it as a regular spice while cooking
some people even add it to their daily cup of tea or milk personally i like to take it
as a supplement in capsule form on a daily basis moving right along you can also try to eat more
nuts in your diet nuts which are high in protein and amino acids are known to have beneficial
effects on the liver walnuts in particular are high in arginine and omega-3 fatty acids
both of these are helpful when it comes to providing your liver with a detoxifying boost
consuming a handful of nuts daily can give your body the compounds it needs in order to improve
the health of your liver it's preferable to go for the organic or unprocessed varieties if possible
rather than the processed alternatives and when it comes to liver health in general it's best
to limit your sugar intake not only will your waistline appreciate it each of your internal
organs including the liver will benefit from less sugar consumption many people don't realize
that the liver is one of the major organs that is responsible for blood sugar balance
so if you take in too much glucose it definitely puts a strain on the liver
the unfortunate truth is that most of us consume way too much sugar in our diets
the good news is simply eating less sugar is an effective way to detox and cleanse the liver
and is something that we can all implement right away and another method for boosting the liver
that not too many people know about is simply to drink more coffee coffee is often debated
whether or not it's good or bad for our overall health but since we're focusing on the liver
studies found that those who drink coffee were much less likely to develop liver disease
than those who don't research suggests that coffee may also protect the liver from alcohol-related
cirrhosis as well this is likely due to the anti-inflammatory properties that it contains
while it's probably best if consumed in moderation drinking more coffee is
definitely something to consider for those who are looking to enhance the health of their liver
