2. Turmeric

Turmeric is another popular and effective liver-cleansing food, and it is the liver’s favorite spice. It also improves the body’s ability to digest fats.

The compound curcumin in turmeric induces the formation of a primary liver detoxification enzyme called glutathione S-transferase. It also helps regenerate damaged liver cells.

3. Lemons and Limes

These citrus fruits are packed with vitamin C.

Lemons, in particular, helps detoxify the liver mainly due to the antioxidant D-Limonene present in it, which helps activate enzymes in the liver that aid detoxification.

Moreover, the high amount of vitamin C helps your liver produce more enzymes to aid digestion.

Lemons also boost mineral absorption by the liver.

4. Avocados

Avocados contain potent chemicals that may reduce liver damage, according to a 2000 study by the American Chemical Society. This nutrient-dense superfood is rich in glutathione, a compound required by the liver to cleanse harmful toxins and to function properly.

The high amount of monounsaturated fat in avocados helps reduce low-density lipoproteins or “bad” cholesterol and increase high-density lipoproteins or “good” cholesterol. The liver easily processes good cholesterol.

Moreover, avocados contain many minerals, vitamins, and plant nutrients that support overall liver health and help break down fats.
