The liver is the organ responsible for filtering toxins, metabolizing nutrients and supporting the immune system. When the liver is overloaded by diet, environment or lifestyle, the body is easily tired, has acne, and reduces resistance.
According to Medical News Today, just maintaining some simple liver care habits every day can help the liver function better and prevent many diseases.
1. Drink a glass of warm water with lemon in the morning
Lemon is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help stimulate bile production, supporting the liver in breaking down fat and detoxifying. Warm water helps the body absorb faster and activates the digestive system.
2. Do 5 minutes of deep breathing exercises
Deep breathing helps increase oxygen intake, promote circulation and reduce pressure on the liver. This habit also helps relax the mind, reduce stress - an indirect factor affecting liver health.
3. Eat a portion of green vegetables or fresh fruits
cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale), beetroot, carrots and fruits such as grapefruit, apples contain compounds that support liver enzymes, promote the detoxification process and are strong antioxidants.
4. Drink enough water throughout the day
Water is an important factor that helps the liver filter out toxins through the urine. Maintaining 1.52 liters of water/day helps the liver function smoothly and reduces the risk of toxic accumulation.
5. Avoid alcohol and processed foods
Limiting the intake of substances that put pressure on the liver will help this organ recover and perform its detoxification function well.
Maintaining the above habits only takes about 10 minutes a day but brings great benefits to liver health. This is a simple, less costly but effective way in the long term.
