Here are some things you can do to protect the health of the liver, known as the body’s ‘chemical factory’:
1. Warm lemon water
Drinking warm water with lemon juice on an empty stomach in the morning is the best way to cleanse the liver. The vitamin C in lemon produces enzymes that help dissolve toxins.
2. Garlic
Garlic has the ability to stimulate enzymes in the liver. The ‘allicin’ and ‘selenium’ it contains help cleanse and protect the liver.
3. Turmeric
Turmeric is a medicine for liver health. It helps repair liver cells and increase the production of bile. Including turmeric in your diet will provide immunity to the liver.
4. Include vegetables
Include plenty of broccoli, spinach, cabbage, and beetroot in your diet. The fiber contained in these will help flush out toxins from the liver. Drinking beetroot juice is good for purifying the blood and speeding up the functioning of the liver.
5. Green Tea
Green tea is rich in antioxidants called ‘catechins’ that improve liver function. This helps prevent fat accumulation in the liver.
6. Drink plenty of water
The easiest way to flush out waste from the body is to drink plenty of water. Drinking at least 3 liters of water a day will reduce the workload of the liver.
Things to avoid to maintain liver health:
Excessive alcohol consumption.
Sugar and sweet drinks.
Fried and processed foods
