Why olive oil helps detoxify the liver

Kiều Vũ (Theo Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry) |

With its outstanding nutritional components, olive oil can support the liver detoxification process and maintain effective liver function.

Scientific studies from reputable health organizations such as the World Health Organization and international medical journals have shown that olive oil is not only a nutritious food but also has a positive effect on liver health.

One of the most prominent components of olive oil is oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. Studies have shown that oleic acid helps reduce inflammation in the liver, enhances the ability to remove toxins and protects the liver from harmful agents.

A study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry confirmed that olive oil helps reduce hepatitis and protect the liver from damage caused by toxic substances such as alcohol and drugs. Regular use of olive oil can help the liver function better in detoxification, especially when combined with a healthy diet.

In addition to oleic acid, olive oil also contains polyphenols - a group of powerful antioxidants. polyphenols in olive oil, especially oleocanthal, protect liver cells from free radical attacks and reduce cell damage. A diet rich in olive oil helps reduce the risk of fatty liver disease, one of the factors leading to liver failure and liver-related diseases.

Olive oil also helps reduce excess fat in the liver, effectively supporting the liver detoxification process. The fatty acids in olive oil can reduce excess fat and help the liver process toxins better, especially in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In addition, olive oil also reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) levels in the blood, supports cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of liver-related diseases.

Using olive oil reasonably can be an effective method to support the liver detoxification process, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant components. Olive oil not only protects the liver from damage but also helps improve liver function and supports the body's natural detoxification process.
