Like any diets, there is no magical diet that will guarantee protection from liver disease or damage. However, there are specific foods that you can include in your regular diet to help regularly flush out toxins and help you maintain a healthy liver.
If you’ve been diagnosed with anything that impacts your liver, you may need to manage your protein, salt and fluid intake. After all, your liver plays a key role in converting food into the chemicals essential for life.
Most people don’t think about what foods are good for keeping their liver strong. So here is a short list of healthy eating that will result in a strong useful liver:
Eating or drinking grapefruit juice can help your liver flush out carcinogens and toxins – while garlic helps your liver activate enzymes that can flush out toxins.
Oils – use mostly olive oil for your food preparation. Use flax seed oil or fish oil every day.
Avoid margarine or any other artificial butter since their processing creates chemicals the liver cannot recognize as food. Use Ghee, which doesn’t require refrigeration, or raw butter,
Sunflower, safflower, and other seed oils should be kept in the refrigerator to keep them from becoming rancid.
When you eat too much fat, the fat accumulates in the liver. The liver is responsible for breaking down the fat and using it for energy. Accumulated fat in the liver can become rancid producing free radicals that damage liver cells.
Overall, try to buy and eat good organic food. Food that has been sprayed with pesticides is difficult to clean.
