Our body neutralizes and removes environmental and dietary toxins on a daily basis. And the liver is mainly responsible for this process by filtering blood running through your digestive tract. This will ensure harmful chemicals are all detoxified properly. There are many foods that can provide necessary nutrients to support or speed up this process, as well as keep this organ working efficiently. With that in mind, here are the top 15 foods that cleanse the liver to add into your daily diet.
Garlic
Garlic is a detox favorite that has many sulfur-containing properties that might fight harmful yeast and bacteria in the liver. Also, it can enhance the ability of your liver to cleanse by encouraging the production of glutathione, an essential component for eliminating some toxins. Garlic also contains allicin, which can be broken down and protect your body against diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and heart disease.
Garlic should be chopped or crushed to release its beneficial sulfur properties. Consider adding it to your daily salad dressing or making a chickpea dip or white bean with lemon juice, olive oil, and chickpeas or white beans. [1]
