The liver - the organ that plays an important role in metabolism and detoxification - must operate continuously to treat excess substances during Tet. Therefore, supplementing with cool, antioxidant-rich foods such as lettuce is a natural solution to help support effective liver function recovery.
Lettuce contains a high water content, accounting for more than 90%, helping the body replenish water and support the detoxification process. When the body is hydrated, the liver and kidneys will work more favorably in excreting toxins through urine and sweat. In addition, lettuce is rich in fiber, which helps improve digestive function and limit constipation - a common condition after days of unbalanced eating. When the digestive system operates smoothly, the pressure of toxin metabolism on the liver is also reduced.
Another notable point is that lettuce provides a lot of vitamins A, C and antioxidant compounds. These substances have the ability to neutralize free radicals produced during the liver metabolism of alcohol and fatty foods. Thanks to that, liver cells are better protected against the risk of inflammation and damage. Minerals such as potassium in lettuce also support electrolyte balance, helping the body quickly regain a stable state after a long vacation.
Not only beneficial in biological terms, lettuce is also easy to prepare and combine in daily meals. Housewives are too familiar with salads made from lettuce and can be used as olive oil or lettuce to eat with spring rolls...
Another way to prepare lettuce that housewives can refer to is to mix smoothies with less sweet fruits to enhance nutritional value. However, to maximize benefits, it is necessary to wash thoroughly and soak in diluted salt water to remove bacteria and pesticide residues.
Liver recovery after Tet requires a general healthy lifestyle such as limiting alcohol, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly and maintaining a balanced diet.
Lettuce only plays a supporting role. When used reasonably, this familiar vegetable can become a powerful assistant to help the liver regenerate and the body quickly regain lightness and health after the joyful spring days.
