4 Natural Liver Cleansing Foods
Liver health is directly tied to your overall health, and poor liver health could very well be the root cause of many diseases that currently affect millions of people worldwide. Often assaulted with toxic substances like high-fructose corn syrup, which can ‘overburden’ the liver and subsequently lead to complications, it is very likely that your liver has experienced at least some degree of damage due to dietary and environmental factors. In fact, the only way to avoid the buildup of toxins in the liver would be to eat a nearly perfect diet free of additives, fillers, modified ingredients, or chemicals — virtually the opposite of the average American diet, which critically lacks any liver cleansing foods.
Thankfully, it is very possible to repair your liver naturally and help release excessive toxin buildup through the power of healing foods. Here are 5 natural liver cleansing foods:
1. Cleanse Your Liver with Avocados
Avocados have been shown to naturally protect and repair your liver. Containing a high amount of glutathione-producing compounds, avocados can actually help boost the ability of the liver to cleanse itself. Astonishing research has even shown that consuming one or two avocados per week for as little as 30 days can make a serious difference in the state of your liver health. The best part? Avocados can be enjoyed with virtually any meal, and are available throughout the world. Try adding in some fresh, organic avocados with your next meal to reap the benefits of liver cleansing foods like this one.
2. Garlic
The superfood garlic, which is known for its ability to fight against cancer and infections naturally, is also among the many great liver cleansing foods as it is very useful in repairing a compromised liver. While the benefits of garlic for liver health and beyond are many, one reason for its superior effects have to do with the fact that garlic contains numerous sulfur-containing compounds that are known to activate the liver enzymes responsible for expelling toxins from the body. Another lies in the presence of both allicin and selenium, two important nutrients that play an integral role in the protection of the liver from damage.
3. Turmeric
Turmeric can uniquely assist the enzymes that are responsible for flushing out known dietary carcinogens. The result is enhanced protection against liver damage, and even regeneration of affected liver cells.
4. Lemon and Lime
While not exactly one of the liver cleansing foods, warm water with lemon or lime each morning could be one of the simplest and most advantageous methods of improving the health of your liver. High in vitamin C and potassium, lemons can help regulate biological functions. Some experts, such as A.F. Beddoe — who wrote the book Biological Ionization as Applied to Human Nutrition, have also stated that the liver produces more enzymes in response to water with lemon than to any other food.
Losing weight and cleaning the liver starts with a diabetes diet according to Dr. Liu in Denmark. The food was changed in the USA, UK and Australia 30 years ago when dangerous food chemicals from the USA was allowed into European.
The food today causes stubborn insulin If you have stubborn insulin you hold fat and have a hard time losing weight. You can eat very little and the weight still does not come off. Stubborn insulin will hold fat and diets won't work.
When researchers used a specialized diabetes diet on overweight people all lost weight even those who did not have diabetes. See here http://spirithappy.org
I wish I could tell you about a product that takes care of 'stubborn insulin' but I sell it and I would not want to be accused of spamming. I guess you will have to message me at Facebook.
Sounds like a really good Guacamole! Yummy! Use celery for dip and eat.
We have 4 muscudine "trees" I didn't know we were to eat the seeds too! Thanks for sharing!
Hey anna…why don't you tell the people that there is a $16 charge for the "diet" report?
Please check out my website at http://www.jaimekastner.myvi.net for a wonderful product that can be used along with all the great tips above. Great for diabetics, people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and any number of health issues. I have lost 24 pounds in 62 days using the Visalus Sciences products and have pictures to prove it. This is great for anyone looking for a healthy nutritious diet.
I already use all of those things (not big on garlic though). Use the warm lemon water every morning and have done for several years now. What about suggesting eating real liver? Or even desiccated liver tablets (which is what I do because I don't care for the smell or the taste of liver). TCM associates "like treats like" and I believe TCM has it all over American allopathic nonsensical, non-healing, cover-up-the-symptoms-but-don't-treat-the-real-cause medicine. I use Solgar desiccated liver tabs.
dead animal parts for health? Misdirection there
What do you think a burger is ????? I guess your a vegetarian ……
Why would you eat raw liver unless you were an animal? Organ meats are very bad for you!!! Liver filters all the waste & that is why it taste so hideous. Eating it raw is even worse you will get parasites & worms. Plus it will most definitely give you high uric acid levels.
I do eat onions and do take a lot of herbal infusions and drinks.
i don't know whether onions can be considered as a liver cleanser.
Again we have a lot of trees,grasses,flowers and fruits/seeds/nut in Nigeria that we use for herbal treatment.and they work 100%.any interested nutritionist scientist is invited to come and research.
What part of Nigeria?
Cleaning your liver is necessary so that it will function very well. Our liver is expected to help clean out our body toxins, thus it needs detox every now and then.
The article about liver cleansing food was very good. Many of the people are getting diseases like Liver sirosis due to habits like alcohol consumption. This web site will be very much useful to such patients. Thank you.go here
Avocados are the best solution for many of the diseases. It contains lots of proteins and gives a good resistance power to our body. Most of us doesn’t know the good sides of garlic, it is the most common thing in our kitchen and we should include it in maximum foods.
One may also consider Milk Thistle.
One would think that the National Cancer Institute would know of garlic's "ability to fight against cancer and infections naturally."
They state, however, "Since many of the studies looking at garlic use and cancer prevention have used multi-ingredient products, it is unclear whether garlic alone or in combination with other nutritional components may have the greatest effect," like the results are inconclusive.
I love how even the slightest correlation is blown out of proportion for being something more than what it is…

I’m so proud to be an Indian. Most of Indian food is made of garlic,ginger, onion, turmeric and coconut oil. All of these are cure to most of diseases. I think it’s time for world to look in to all these natural herbs and do some research and add them in to their regular diets.
my problem is I don’t know how to use herbs as too what gets what
you can use herbs in any cooked dish: soups, lentils, beans, stews, meats etc…olive oil or coconut 1tbs. with 1/2 tsp. turmeric, 1/4 tsp. ginger, 1 tsp. thyme, 1 tsp. oregano, 2 bay leaves, (some dishes you can add cumin ), 1/2c onions chopped, 2 or 3 garlic cloves slices or mashed, salt and pepper. with lentils I add 1 tsp of wine vinegar (or lemon) at the end.
But those foods are cooked for long on fire which killed most of the benefit of garlic
Does anyone know of a substitute for Milk Thistle? I can’t take it because I have a ragweed allergy (cross reaction).
I AM proud too of Indian People too who for so many centuries know how to use food and diet for the best health.
Milk thistle for …the liver? how & where can i get this herb? should i take it fresh or dry? and how much?
You can find it at any health food store.
I think they try to say… even if they don’t that one ‘thing’ alone don’t kill cancer or makes cancer disappear. It may kill some cancer cells but not all …??
well, where do you get them? and how or where can you find the website ??grapes to animals?? dogs can’t eat grapes to my knowledge. But i will like to find out about this MUSCADINE GRAPES.
it’s bad. this was written two years ago. Today you can’t go to Nigeria or any country in the area. THERE IS was everywhere. I don’t know who (group?) is doing what that everyone (in all continents) everyday there is a new war or are in war It looks to me someone is doing something -that looks an epidemic- moving a chess and causing all this wars to occur and spreading like fire.
I love Garlic! <3
If you really “think that the National Cancer Institute would know of” any true cancer protocols, then perhaps you should do a little research. Over the years, agencies of the US govt. have, within legal proceedings, had to concede, albeit very reluctantly, at least three different cancer CURES over the years. Yet, despite these facts, the NCI doesn’t recognized any of these or any natural protocols.
In contrast, there are many effective cancer cures offered in Mexico, including the Hoxsey Protocol, which, as above, our govt. has admitted CURES cancer.
