FOODS THAT CLEANSE YOUR LIVER

TURMERIC

If liver had a favourite spice, turmeric would get the nod.

Smelling like orange and ginger, this somewhat bitter-tasting

spice is found in curry powder and sometimes replaces saffron

powder. Turmeric not only promotes overall liver health, it

assists the enzymes that cleanse the liver of carcinogens

and has even proven to repair damaged liver cells. All signs

point to sprinkling some turmeric on your next bowl of soup

or plate of veggies.

CABBAGE

When you eat cabbage, you give your liver a real boost. Cabbage

activates two enzymes crucial for cleansing the liver of toxins.

And green cabbage, in particular, is high in chlorophyll, and

chlorophyll purifies the blood and strengthens the liver.

OLIVE OIL

Olive oil helps the liver work less. This healthy oil provides a

lipid base that can remove harmful toxins…thus removing some

of the burden from your hard-working organ.

AVOCADOS

Called a super-food, avocados helps the body produce

glutathione, an important compound that helps detox the liver. 

This delicious drupe also delivers close to 20 essential

vitamins and minerals.

GREEN TEA

Antioxidants—beverage style! These cell-helping, free-radical

busting antioxidants are known as catechins, and they help

your liver to function, and in some cases even help to fight

liver disease. What’s in your cup?

CARROTS

Carrots are extremely high in plant-flavonoids and beta-carotene

which converts to Vitamin A in the liver. Eating carrots can help

stimulate and improve your overall liver function.

PUMPKIN SEEDS

Your liver needs fat to function properly, and pumpkin seeds

have a healthy amount of these beneficial fats that also 

protect important cellular components. The antioxidants

and fibre in pumpkin seeds help the liver to work

more effectively.

WALNUTS

Walnuts have a low level of toxicity and are especially rich in

properties that help the body to produce glutathione, the

“mother of all antioxidants.” Three Japanese researchers praised

walnuts as “remarkable” for the rare and powerful

antioxidants they provide. And their polyphenols can reduce

chemically-induced damage to the liver. Seven walnuts a day is

all most people need to enjoy the health benefits these

tree nuts deliver.
