Feeling Sluggish? Detox Your Liver With These 5 Natural Liver-Cleansers

Your liver works overtime filtering toxins out of your body. It never gets a break! When you do things like eat excessively fatty foods and drink excessive amounts of alcohol, your liver has to work harder and harder, and inevitably will begin to wear down. How do we prevent it?

First and foremost, eat a healthy diet, get exercise, limit alcoholic intake and drink plenty of water. But if you’re looking for a good detox for your liver, try these five liver-cleansing tips.

Drink warm lemon water.

This goes back to what I was talking about with regards to hydration. Warm lemon water doesn’t just boost your vitamin C levels and detox your liver, but it helps hydrate your body. Try warm lemon water instead of hot coffee in the morning.

Eat plenty of garlic.

Incorporate garlic into your cooking as much as possible. Not garlic powder, but actual garlic. Slice it up into a salad, add it to your soups, whatever it takes to get it into your diet. Garlic contains allicin and selenium, which are both useful for protecting the liver.

Have an avocado!

A Japanese study found that avocados contain a compound that protects us from liver damage from things like galactosamine, which is a powerful toxin that can damage the liver in the same way viral hepatitis does.

Eat cilantro.

This is another easy one to add to your food. It can be chopped into almost anything. It adds a refreshing flavor to most salads too. This herb helps remove heavy metals from your body, which is something your liver might be struggling with.

Stock up on turmeric.

This powerful spice is said to protect the liver from damage and also can potentially regenerate liver cells. It also helps increase natural bile production and keeps the body toxin free.

If you’re looking for a supplement for detoxing the liver, this is the one we recommend.
