Your liver is an unsung hero, silently working hard to keep your body healthy. It filters toxins, produces bile for digestion, and stores energy. When your liver is functioning optimally, you feel energized, clear-headed, and at your best. But when your liver is struggling, it can lead to a cascade of health issues.

The good news is that you can support your liver health through your diet. Eating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help to reduce inflammation, protect your liver cells, and promote detoxification.

The Best Foods for Liver Health

The following foods are particularly beneficial for liver health:

• Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale contain compounds that have been shown to protect the liver from damage.
• Beets: Beets are a good source of betaine, a nutrient that helps to break down fats and reduce inflammation in the liver.
• Citrus fruits: Grapefruits, oranges, and lemons are all high in vitamin C, which is essential for liver detoxification.
• Garlic: Garlic contains allicin, a compound that has been shown to protect the liver from damage.
• Green tea: Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to protect the liver from damage and improve liver function.
