“Lifestyle change and changes in diet work faster, better and more cheaply than any medication and are as effective or more effective than gastric bypass without any side effects or long-term complications.” ~ Dr. Mark Hyman, Head of Strategy and Innovation at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine
Toxin Toxout
The liver is an important organ in the body that plays a vital role in detoxifying harmful substances and filtering out toxins.
Eating a healthy, balanced diet can help support liver function and detoxification. Here are some foods that are particularly beneficial for liver health:
Nutrition for Liver Health
Leafy Green Vegetables
Vegetables like spinach, kale, and arugula are rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals that can help protect the liver from damage.
Garlic
Garlic contains compounds that help activate liver enzymes that aid in the elimination of toxins
Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and grapefruits contain high levels of vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the liver.
Beets
Beets contain betaine, which is a compound that helps support liver function and may help protect against liver disease.
Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds like almonds, walnuts, and flaxseeds are good sources of healthy fats and antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and support liver health.
Turmeric
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help protect the liver.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts contain compounds that can help increase the production of enzymes in the liver that aid in detoxification.
It’s also important to limit or avoid processed foods, alcohol, and foods high in saturated and trans fats, as they can be harmful to the liver. Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated can also help support liver function and detoxification.
Next Steps to Support Detox and Liver Function…
When it comes to detox, we want to keep in mind that the liver is not the only organ of elimination. We also detox through our kidneys, our gut, and our skin.
Other than nutrition, we want to support our physiology with clean air, adequate hydration, and ensuring optimal gut and digestive health.
You have what it takes inside you to make a definite choice that will change the future trajectory of your health.
