Quang Minh (THEO ABOLUOWANG) |

Some foods and drinks can effectively support liver detoxification. Below are 7 foods and drinks that help protect and enhance liver function.

Green tea

Green tea contains catechins, a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce liver damage caused by toxins and enhances detoxification enzyme function.

Research from the International Journal of Liver Disease shows that regular consumption of green tea can reduce the risk of fatty liver and hepatitis.

Turmeric

Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound with anti-inflammatory and liver-protective properties. According to research from the Journal of Clinical Medicine, curcumin helps increase bile production and improve the liver's ability to remove toxins.

Adding turmeric to your daily diet, such as cooking soup or making turmeric tea, is an effective way to protect your liver.

Grapefruit

Grapefruit contains naringenin and naringin, two antioxidants that help protect the liver from damage and reduce inflammation.

Research from the American Dietetic Association (AND) confirms that regular grapefruit consumption can reduce the risk of cirrhosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, cabbage)

Cruciferous vegetables are rich in glucosinolate, a compound that aids in detoxification in the liver.

According to research from the US National Cancer Institute, regular consumption of broccoli or kale helps activate detoxifying enzymes, while reducing fat accumulation in the liver.

Garlic

Garlic contains allicin, a compound that activates enzymes in the liver, which helps eliminate toxins. The Journal of Hepatology and Gallbladder Research found that adding garlic to your diet can help reduce liver fat and the risk of liver disease.

Warm lemon water

Warm lemon water is a simple yet effective drink for detoxifying the liver. Lemons are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help stimulate bile production and improve digestion.

Research from the British Journal of Clinical Nutrition recommends drinking a glass of warm lemon water every morning to support liver function.

Avocado

Avocados are a natural source of glutathione – an important antioxidant that helps protect the liver from free radical damage.

According to research by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), eating avocados regularly helps improve the liver's self-cleansing ability.

Notes when using liver detox foods:

Maintain a balanced diet: Incorporate the above foods into your daily diet but ensure balance to avoid excess nutrients.

Limit foods that are harmful to the liver: Avoid consuming processed foods, foods high in fat or refined sugar.

Practice healthy habits: In addition to diet, exercise regularly and get enough sleep to maintain overall health.
