According to the American liver Association, the time of lunch has a direct impact on the circadian rhythm of the liver, especially the detoxification and regulation of blood glucose.
Eating lunch on time, balancing nutritional groups helps the liver avoid overload or metabolic disorders.
A study in Hepatology International showed that people with a lunch diet rich in antioxidants, star fruit and soluble fiber containing liver enzymes (ALT, AST) are 23% less likely to have fatty liver culture than those who regularly eat fast food.
Suggested lunch menus to help enhance liver function:
Steamed turmeric + brown rice + boiled mustard greens
Fish (such as salmon, basa, miniature fish): provide omega-3, which helps reduce hepatitis and visceral fat.
Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to help inhibit liver cell damage.
Brown rice is rich in fiber, which helps improve bowel function and reduce the detoxification burden on the liver.
Cabbage (green cabbage, mustard): rich in glucosinolate, which helps the liver produce phase II detoxification enzymes.
People who regularly use curcumin (100-200mg/day) through foods with liver enzymes have significantly improved after 8 weeks.
Jellybean salad + avocado + walnuts
Jicama provides plant protein, easy to digest, reducing metabolic pressure on the liver.
Avocado contains glutathione, one of the most important endogenous antioxidants for the liver.
Dogs provide alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) - an omega-3 form that can clean liver fat.
You should add 30g of avocado and 5-7 walnuts per day to support liver function, especially in people at risk of fatty liver.
Cooked seaweed white radish soup
White radish helps diuretic, cool down, stimulate digestive enzymes and excrete bile.
Seaweed is rich in iodine, fiber and alginate, which absorb toxins and support detoxification through the intestines.
Eating seaweed soup 3 times a week helps reduce the risk of fatty liver by up to 27% in obese people.
Some notes when building a good lunch for the liver:
Limit stir-fried fried foods with lots of animal fat because they easily increase bad cholesterol (LDL) and liver fat.
Do not eat too much salt to reduce the burden of blood filtration and retain water in the liver.
Eat on time, best from 11:30 to 12:30 noon to synchronize with the liver biological clock.
