My Food List for the Liver

šŸ’– The easiest and most effective way to love your liverā€¦

Is to eat nutrient-dense whole foods šŸ„—

Thatā€™s because there are 2 phases of liver detoxification, each of which depends upon a steady supply of nutrients to keep it going. Nutrients that are in foods likeā€¦

šŸ„¦ Cruciferous Vegetables (foods like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and collards support both phases of liver detoxification)

šŸ§„ Garlic & Onions (these provide sulfur compounds, vitamin B6, and antioxidants)

šŸ« Blueberries (contain polyphenols to support antioxidant status)

šŸ„£ Turmeric (a powerful health-promoting spice!)

šŸµ Green Tea (rich in EGCG & antioxidants)

Think of it this way:

Your liver is working around the clock to process chemicals and toxins for elimination. If it doesnā€™t have the nutrients it needs, detox will slow down and youā€™ll start to feel the effects on your health.

Save this post šŸ“ and commit to eating at least one of these foods every day!
