The liver is essential to the proper functioning of the body. It acts to purify the blood of accumulated toxins, produces the digestive substances and stores the vitamins and minerals to be redistributed through the body.
Yet, without knowing it, you are daily exposed to many toxins that can damage your liver.
My Liver Exam offers you a list of foods that can help your liver transform toxins into less harmful substances. Not only can these foods make you feel better, they may also help the liver perform its functions and also, help to regenerate its cells easily.
Avocados, tomatoes and spinach
The avocado is rich in glutathione. This substance is present throughout the body, and its function is to protect cells against oxidation, and to detoxify our body from heavy metals. (1). Like tomatoes and spinach for example, it stimulates the production of liver and digestive enzymes as well as liver activity.
Beets and carrots
Beets and carrots are also rich in glutathione. Eating these two foods rich in flavonoids and beta-carotene helps the liver to regenerate and perform its purification role.
Asparagus
Thanks to their diuretic function, they help the cleansing process by activating the functions of the liver and kidneys that eliminate the toxins.
Green leafy vegetables
Green vegetables are extremely rich in chlorophyll. This assimilative pigment is capable of absorbing toxins from the environment and purifying blood from heavy metals.
Cruciferous vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, cress, turnips, radishes
Eating broccoli and cauliflower increases the production of glucosinolate enzymes in the body, helping to eliminate carcinogens and other toxins.
Apples
Apples, rich in pectin, facilitate the process of cleansing the liver. Apple juice (organic) is also recommended for liver detoxification. (2)
Plants and infusions
In this family, we can first find the dandelion root herbs that help the liver to break down the fat, to produce amino acids by ridding it of the toxins.
Green tea is also a supply of antioxidants such as catechins, an important compound for liver function. (3) Indeed, its molecules are powerful antioxidants that help prevent certain inflammatory diseases. (4)
Finally, the rosemary infusion allows it to stimulate the production of bile which helps in digestion and limits liver problems.
Recipe idea: Infuse 2 g of rosemary in 15 cl of boiling water for 10 minutes and consume 1 to 2 cups per day. (5)
Citrus
Citrus fruits are another source of glutathione rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. They stimulate the production of liver and bile detoxification enzymes and improve the process of cleansing the liver. The family includes grapefruit and lemon. A citrus cure is recommended to help with digestion, decomposition of fat and activate the diuretic function. (6)
Curcuma and other spices
Curcuma is a root from India that has many curative properties. It participates in the detoxification of the liver by stimulating the production of bile and releasing the liver ducts. It also acts on the detection of allergies present in certain foods that we consume.
Our infusion advice: put two teaspoons of turmeric root in a bowl, boil for 3 minutes then infuse 10 minutes. It is recommended that you consume 2 to 3 bowls to enjoy its benefits. (7)
Among other spices and plants, garlic plays a protective role in the detoxification of the liver. It is composed of sulfur which activates the liver enzymes contributing to the elimination of toxins in the body. Garlic has high amounts of natural ingredients like allicin and selenium that help cleanse the liver.
Nuts
Nuts are a good source of glutathione, omega-3 fatty acids that help the liver evacuate ammonia, the substance responsible for certain diseases. They also promote blood oxygenation.
A diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, citrus fruits and spices will help to detoxify your liver. Before starting a natural detoxification of the liver, ask a nutritionist for advice. Indeed, the recommended consumption of certain foods may vary according to the individual: body size, age, size … Sometimes it can even be discouraged, hence the importance of asking the opinion of a specialist.

My husband used to be really sluggish, irritable and tired all the time. His doctor told him he had fat in his liver, which he hadn’t even heard of before. I started looking into ways to help him and found this natural solution ( best-liverdetox.mystrikingly.com ) He stuck to it religiously and have lost 17 lbs already. He now feels like a different person!

What about foods and infusions for help to leviate (neuropathy) severe pain and numbness of the extremities. Why don’t I sweat? Help with gum inflammation, and psoriasis, especially on the face. And finally restlessness and sleeplessness. I apologise for the lengthiness of my concerns. I appreciate your feedback.
You might want to have your vitamin D level checked with a blood test. My # was 13 and had panic attacks, poor sleep, gum problems, anxiety, skin problems. I discovered that the number should be around 50-70. The Dr put me on one pill of 50,000 units of vitamin D3 once a week for 12 weeks and I felt so much better within weeks. Today I still take 10,000 daily because I get very little sunshine and usually use sunscreen.
How about coconut water.
Hi mam I need to know how many day I need to drink this turmeric… And I have one question what are the best way to quit smoking
Oddly enough, stop inhaling, worked for me.
I smoked cigarettes for 28 years since I was 15, four and a half pack per day, on a good day. I didn’t have the habit, it had me.
I tried to cut down, chewed, cigars, pipe, snuff and it just made me smoke more, cigarettes that is.
Finally a friend told me, “Any dummy can light up and puff, but you had to TEACH your body to inhale. Trick your mind and don’t quit smoking. Don’t let yourself inhale. Smoke all you want”.
After two months my throat was so sore I thought I was in serious trouble. The smell and taste was like licking the bottom of the most filthy ashtray possible. The only habit I still had was reaching for another cigarette and the gage response became automatic.
It wasn’t only easy to quit at that time, it was necessary!
This method was far cheaper than any commercial remedy. Most importantly, It was How It Works For Me!
Very helpful info. Thanks for sharing the foods and how they .help.ive been eating a lot of sugary food. I have a lot of belly fat, stool changes, fatigue, indigestion a lot and bloating . ,belching. Dr. Said my bloodwork showed my liver reading was very high. We are trying to find out why. I think its all the sugar. Im addicted to daily chocolate. Never smoked , dont drink and havent used recreational drugs. I was just taken off the statin drug to see if that helps.
..
The answer is obvious. Sugar is your drug. Cut down on sugar and eat food suggested here plus exercise and workout regularly.

Once my liver is completely healed can I ever go back to a normal living maybe having a few beers a day stuff like that not overdoing it but little here a little there.
Once it is cured why would you want to go back to a “normal living” one that eventually kill you. Be healthy, that is best “normal living.” If friends do not like you sober, they were never friends to begin with. Also no beer, more money pocket for travel not hospital! Best of luck!
I am a recovering alcoholic named Mark. I was diagnosed with stage3 cirrhosis of the liver over a year ago. I haven’t done anything out of the regular life I have always lived. I eat sugary foods on an hourly basis, due to it helping my recovery in alcoholism.
I have just over 8 months of sobriety. I didn’t take it seriously when the doctor told me that I was diagnosed with stage 3 cirrhosis of my liver.
My sleep habits are poor/out of whack, I dont properly exercise and I definitely do not eat properly.
I’m just now starting to read about my malady. Finding out what I can about this problem of mine.
I have read that life expectancy is anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. That leaves me about 10 more months in my figured!
I only pray to God that my demise will open others minds and let them learn not to wait until the last minute.
I pray!
Don’t give up. You can reverse it with diet and purpose. Search for Zach Skow and Marley’s Mutts to see what Zach did.
