1. Grapefruit
According to the World Journal of Gastroenterology, grapefruit is rich in antioxidants such as naringenin and naringin, which help protect the liver from damage caused by inflammation and oxidation. A glass of fresh grapefruit juice per day can support the detoxification process effectively.
2. Apple
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (USA) said that apples contain a lot of pectin - a type of soluble fiber that helps remove heavy metals and excess cholesterol from the body, reducing the burden on the liver. Eating an apple before dinner helps the digestive system work more gently.
3. Papaya
Papaya is rich in the enzyme papain and vitamin C. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH, USA), this fruit helps improve digestion and reduce inflammation, thereby supporting the liver in breaking down toxins. Ripe papaya can be eaten directly or as smoothies and salads.
4. Lemon
Research from the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition (Japan) shows that lemon juice is rich in vitamin C and citric acid, which help increase the production of detoxification enzymes in the liver. Drinking a glass of warm lemon water in the morning helps promote detoxification and purify the body.
Note
Eat fresh fruit, limit the use of canned foods high in sugar and preservatives.
Combine fruits with a low-fat, green-light diet to increase liver protection.
Drink enough water and exercise regularly to support optimal liver function.
