If there is one organ above any other that\u2019s responsible for keeping you healthy and preventing diseases it\u2019s the liver.<\/p>\nIf there is one organ above any other that\u2019s responsible for keeping you healthy and preventing diseases it\u2019s the liver.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, most of us don\u2019t treat the liver with the respect it deservers and therefore we end up obese, with high cholesterol, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes (just to name a few of many conditions).<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why in today\u2019s feature I\u2019m article going to tell you about 10 powerful foods that clean the liver like nothing else. I\u2019ve had many, many clients completely reverse the above conditions by just adding these liver-friendly foods into their diet.<\/p>\n
First of all, things that intoxicate our livers and fill it up with fat are things like processed food, fried food, alcohol, sugar (specifically fructose and sucrose), any kind of pollution and stress.<\/p>\n
Since we can\u2019t avoid all these things, you should load up on the following foods as much as possible to counteract the toxins: 2)\tAvocado<\/strong> is considered one of the healthiest super-foods you can eat. One of its magic powers is to help the body produce glutathione, which is essential for the liver to get rid of toxins. <\/p>\n 3)\tBeets,<\/strong> it doesn\u2019t matter which kind, contain high volumes of plant-flavonoids 4)\tFlaxseed and Olive oil<\/strong> are healthy fats that actually absorb harmful toxins throughout the body. This, again, relieves much of the work the liver has to perform. <\/p>\n 5)\tGarlic <\/strong>is one of those super-herbs that is great for everything (except maybe dating). One of the things that garlic does (even in very small doses) is to activate enzymes in the liver that immediately flush out toxins. On top of that, garlic is also loaded with selenium and allicin. These two compounds are often thanked for lowering blood pressure but they also help clean out the liver. When you use garlic, it\u2019s important to chop it or slice it in very small pieces. This releases these healthy compounds. You also want to eat it as raw as possible. <\/p>\n 6)\tGrapefruit<\/strong> is one of the most powerful fruits you can eat. In fact, it\u2019s so powerful that it can counteract several prescription drugs. So if you\u2019re taking any kind of medications, don\u2019t eat grapefruit till it\u2019s cleared by your doctor. If you\u2019re not taking medications, you\u2019re in for a treat because as little as half a grapefruit can trigger the release of several liver enzymes that help flush out toxins from the liver. <\/p>\n 7)\tGreen Tea<\/strong> is one of the best known natural cleansing methods used. Among other things, green tea is loaded with antioxidants. But you don\u2019t have to limit yourself to green tea. Almost all types of tea are beneficial for your health. <\/p>\n 8)\tAny type of green vegetable<\/strong> is good for the liver. Some of the most powerful liver cleansers are spinach, arugula, chicory and mustard greens. They\u2019re all loaded with chlorophylls, which vacuum any toxins from the blood stream.<\/p>\n 9)\tStarch<\/strong> has sometimes gained a bad reputation. Natural starchy carbs such as squash, brown rice, potatoes and yams are, however, very healthy. Unlike sugars, they contain only glucose, which is pure energy that can be used by any cell in the body and does not require the liver for processing. Other sugars contain fructose, which can only be processed by the liver. Natural starch is also rich in vitamin B. This vitamin boosts metabolization, liver decongestion and overall liver function.<\/p>\n 10)\t Turmeric<\/strong> is sometimes called \u201cthe liver\u2019s favorite spice.\u201d It\u2019s extremely powerful in activating liver enzymes that rid the body of, among other things, carcinogens of all kinds. If you\u2019re not a regular guest at Indian restaurants, you can also get Turmeric as supplement in your local health food store.<\/p>\n Boosting your liver health is extremely powerful to heal pretty much any disease under the sun. So here are some conditions you may be interested in tackling:<\/p>\n Follow this simple plan to get your cholesterol under control in less than a month\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n Completely reverse type 2 diabetes in 3 simple steps\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n
