Do you need a liver detox? Here are the best natural foods that will cleanse your

liver naturally!

Have you been slugging through your day, extremely exhausted? Are you

struggling with your digestive and gut health? What about extra sensitivity to

perfumes and smells? If you checked yes to any of these questions, this could be a

sign that your liver is on overload.

As your main detoxifying organ, your liver is impacted by everything you come in

contact with. It works hard to detoxify toxic chemicals and carcinogens naturally,

but did you know common detox kits aren’t enough to maintain your liver’s

productivity?

Heading out to your local health food store and buying a 10-day detox kit just won’t

gonna cut it! As much as those kits can be effective in “cleaning you out,” they

really don’t address the biggest and most important issue, which is food! So, how

do you cleanse your liver?

When it comes to detoxification, it’s all about the food, or more specifically, the

nutrients needed to support detoxification on a daily basis.

It’s true, we detoxify daily, which is why only 10 days won’t cut it. Toxins can be

found in the food we eat, our environment, household cleaning products, and

even our furniture! Our bodies are in a constant state of toxic overloaded.

There are numerous ways to gently and safely detoxify our bodies. For example,

eating more herbs, consuming more supplements, and choosing clean organic

whole foods are all things we can incorporate into our daily lives.

But before we dive into what to eat, let’s first understand what detoxification is all

about.

What is Detoxification?

Detoxification is about resting, cleaning, and nourishing the body from the inside

out. By eliminating toxins and nourishing your body, detoxification can help protect

you from disease and renew your ability to maintain optimal health.

In other words, we’ve got to eliminate toxins and feed our bodies natural foods to

help us feel at our best. The foods you choose to eat play a vital role in eliminating

toxins from your body, as well as supporting different organ systems.

Your Liver

As your main detoxifying organ, your liver has over 500 functions in the body.

Consequently, your liver is constantly ridding your body of waste, metabolizing

hormones, and assisting in digestion.

Combining vitamins A, B, and C with minerals such as zinc, magnesium, calcium and

selenium are all important for supporting detoxification and the liver.

Several amino aids are also important for improving detoxification and eliminating

chemicals from your body. Cysteine and methionine in particular help to prevent

oxidation and bind to heavy metals such as mercury to help flush them from your

system.

An incredibly powerful and important antioxidant needed for detoxification is

glutathione. This antioxidant works to decrease toxins accumulated from smoke,

radiation, auto exhaust, chemicals, drugs, and many other carcinogens.

Since your liver is your main detoxifying powerhouse, it is important to eat foods

that optimize the health of the liver and supply you with many of the vitamins and

minerals mentioned above.

7 Foods That Cleanse Your Liver:

Garlic

Contains sulfur compounds that are essential for supporting the liver and activating

liver enzymes that are responsible for flushing out toxins and waste from the body.

Garlic also contains selenium, an important mineral and nutrient that assists in

detoxification and supports the thyroid gland.

Citrus Fruits

Lemons, limes and grapefruits are all natural sources of vitamin C and contain

many potent antioxidants. Like garlic, citrus fruits have the ability to boost the

production of liver detoxification enzymes.

5

Broccoli

Along with other brassica vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, cabbage and

cauliflower, broccoli contains sulfur compounds, just like garlic, that help to support

the detoxification process and the health of the liver. In fact, these fibrous veggies

can help flush out toxins from your gut, and they contain compounds that help

support the liver in metabolizing hormones.

Avocado

This incredible fruit contains glutathione, which is a powerful antioxidant that

helps to protect the liver from incoming waste and toxins. It also assists the liver in

eliminating these chemicals from your body and protects against cellular damage.

Leafy Vegetables

The bitterer, the better! Your liver loves bitter, so load up on dandelion, rapini,

arugula, mustard greens and chicory. These leafy greens contain numerous

cleansing compounds that neutralize heavy metals, which can slow down the liver’s

ability to detoxify. Plus, they help to stimulate bile flow.

Turmeric

This incredible herb contains a boatload of antioxidants that help to repair the

liver cells, protect against cellular damage and assist in detoxification. Turmeric is

particularly good at helping the liver detox from heavy metals and assist in hormone

metabolism. Turmeric also boosts the production of bile and improves the health of

the gallbladder.

You can make an array of yummy eats using turmeric, ranging from pumpkin and

turmeric soup to “golden ice.”

7

Walnuts

These oddly-shaped nuts contain high levels of l-arginine, glutathione, and

omega-3 fatty acids, all of which help to detoxify the liver and support toxin

elimination. Plus, they are great for fighting inflammation and supporting the health

of the brain.

A simple and delicious way to include many of the above liver-loving foods is

to juice them. If you don’t have a juicer, you can make the recipe below using a

blender.

Here is a potent detoxifying juice you can make at home to cleanse your liver and

overall health.
