Oatmeal porridge: Is a source of beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and helps the liver lose fat accumulation.
Research published in the Journal of Hepatology (2023) shows that eating whole grain oats 5 days/week for 3 months helps reduce 28% of triglycerides in the liver in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Boiled eggs: A popular breakfast dish but has special value for the liver. Choline is a nutrient found in egg yolks, an essential component that helps the liver metabolize fat and prevent fat accumulation.
Choline deficiency can lead to fatty liver and liver cell damage in both men and women.
Eggs should be boiled or steamed instead of fried, to avoid absorbing more saturated fat, which increases the burden on the liver.
Green and lemon smoothie
Green smoothies are an ideal choice for the morning, both light on the stomach and rich in chlorophyll (ellipops), a compound that has been shown to neutralize toxins and support the liver in eliminating heavy metals.
Supplementing foods rich in yellow leafy vegetables such as kale, celery, or broccoli helps increase the activity of glutathione-S-transferase, an important enzyme in the liver detoxification process.
Adding a few drops of fresh lemon juice to smoothies helps increase vitamin C - a catalyst that supports the natural synthesis of glutathione.
Whole wheat bread with almond butter: A slice of whole wheat bread with almond butter or natural peanut butter is a balanced choice for breakfast.
Whole grains contain many B vitamins (B1, B6, B12) that help support energy metabolism in the liver, while almonds are rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress in liver cells.
A glass of warm water mixed with honey and turmeric: Turmeric contains curcumin, an active ingredient that has been proven by many studies to help increase bile secretion, promote liver detoxification and protect liver cells from damage caused by alcohol, medicine or processed foods.
Mix a spoonful of honey and a pinch of turmeric powder in warm water, drink 15 minutes before breakfast to help activate metabolism, supporting the liver to effectively eliminate toxins.
