How To Detox Your Liver

May 22, 2013 at 11:27 am

Your liver is like the maid of your body, cleaning up all the toxins you put into it. The liver keeps all
internal systems running smoothly. The modern diet, environmental pollutants, and our increasing
dependence on toxic personal care products have put our livers on serious overtime.

So, what can you do about it? Well, you could try a quality liver detox supplement, or you could use some
items found at your local health food store, your grocery store, or even some that are already in your
kitchen. Here is how to clean your liver with 5 common food items.

How To Naturally Detox Your Liver

1. Warm Lemon Water – Warm lemon water is a great way to detox your liver every single morning. This
isn’t lemonade, so don’t add sugar or anything else. Just purified water and a healthy dose of fresh lemon
juice. Some experts, like author A.F. Beddoe who wrote the book Biological Ionization as Applied to
Human Nutrition, also believe that the liver produces more enzymes in response to water with lemon than
to any other food.

2. Garlic - Add some garlic to your cooking or thinly slice a clove into your next salad. Garlic contains
sulfur compounds that can help activate enzymes in the liver. It contains allicin and selenium, which are
both good for liver protection.

3. Avocados - As if you need another reason to add avocados to your diet, a Japanese study found that
avocados contain compounds that can protect the liver from damage. When compared with 21 other fruits,
avocados had the most promise in protecting the liver from galactosamine, a “powerful” toxin that has
been shown to produce a liver damage much like human viral hepatitis.

4. Cilantro - This versatile herb can be added to just about any dish, including salads or smoothies. This
herb can help remove heavy metals from the body, something your liver could be struggling with right
now.

5. Turmeric - Another powerful spice with a long list of benefits, turmeric is said to not only protect the
liver from damage, but also encourage regeneration of liver cells. In addition, it increases natural bile
production and aids in keeping the body toxin-free.
