5 LIVER-FRIENDLY FOODS - Garlic - Beets - Cruciferous Vegetables - Artichoke - Milk Thistle

LIVER-FRIENDLY FOODS


Garlic
Garlic is a food that helps boost liver wellness. It has an excellent amount of allicin, an important sulfur-based compound capable of helping the liver in carrying out detoxification


Beets
Fresh beet juice is able to prevent fatty liver because it is rich in betaine, a compound that provides beetroot with its color.


Cruciferous Vegetables
Eating cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli will boost the level of glucosinolate within your body, contributing to enzyme secretion in the liver.


Artichoke
For centuries, artichoke has been recognized as a decent liver tonic. The properties of polyphenol antioxidants like silymarin and cynarin are great for your liver as they assist in regeneration of liver tissues.



Milk Thistle
Scientific studies indicate that compounds in milk thistle, particularly a flavonoid known as silymarin, provide protection to the liver from being damaged by toxins, for instance acetaminophen, which may lead to liver damage.
