š The easiest and most effective way to love your liverā¦
Is to eat nutrient-dense whole foods š„
Thatās because there are 2 phases of liver detoxification, each of which depends upon a steady supply of nutrients to keep it going. Nutrients that are in foods likeā¦
š„¦ Cruciferous Vegetables (foods like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and collards support both phases of liver detoxification)
š§ Garlic & Onions (these provide sulfur compounds, vitamin B6, and antioxidants)
š« Blueberries (contain polyphenols to support antioxidant status)
š„£ Turmeric (a powerful health-promoting spice!)
šµ Green Tea (rich in EGCG & antioxidants)
Think of it this way:
Your liver is working around the clock to process chemicals and toxins for elimination. If it doesnāt have the nutrients it needs, detox will slow down and youāll start to feel the effects on your health.
Save this post š and commit to eating at least one of these foods every day!
