Tamarind is a source of many beneficial biological compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, tartaric acid, vitamin C and a significant amount of potassium, magnesium and soluble fiber.
These antioxidant compounds have the ability to neutralize free radicals - factors that contribute to liver cell damage in many metabolic diseases.
If you want to use tamarind juice as a healthy drink, the mixing method is also very important. Users should choose about 20-30 g of ripe tamarind meat, mix with 300-500 ml of water, limit or do not add sugar.
Adding too much sugar can increase calories, which is unfavorable for overweight people or people with non-alcoholic fatty liver. You can add a few slices of ginger or peppermint to enhance the flavor instead of using too much sugar.
The appropriate time to drink is about 30-60 minutes after meals or in the middle of the session. Do not drink when you are too hungry because tamarind contains a lot of organic acid, which can cause irritation or discomfort in people with a history of stomach ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux.
You should only use about one glass per day, combined with a diet rich in green vegetables, fruits, whole grains and limit alcohol and soft drinks.
When used in moderation in a healthy diet and scientific lifestyle, tamarind juice can become a nutritious drink that contributes to maintaining liver function.
Experts also note that no single food can replace the treatment of liver disease. People with viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, severe fatty liver or using treatment drugs should consult a doctor before using them regularly.
