The liver protects the body from toxins and harmful substances, converts nutrients into energy, and filters unnecessary substances. Therefore, it is considered one of the most important organs of the digestive system.
Dr. Mila Mikatyuk, a Russian nutrition expert, said in an interview with the Russian RIA Novosti news agency that due to the rhythm of contemporary life, and the lack of commitment to a healthy diet and bad habits, the liver becomes weak. But there are nutrients that help maintain its health and normalize its functions.
Althom- garlic contains a substance allicin, which give it a distinctive aroma and flavor. This substance acts as a protective factor for the liver, as after garlic enters the body, the level of glutathione peroxidase and catalase enzymes increases, which prevents early damage to the walls and tissues of the liver, in addition to being powerful antioxidants. Moreover, garlic prevents the formation of stones in the gallbladder.
Green Tea- Green tea helps repair damaged liver cells, flushes toxins out of the body, and the caffeine it contains improves bile secretion and metabolism. It is also a good diuretic.
Vegetables - Vegetables contain a small amount of calories, but against this they are high in nutrients, vitamins and minerals. As well as the dietary fiber necessary for the health and functioning of the intestine. It helps cleanse the body of toxins and waste. Hepatocytes, found in most vegetables, are one of the best building materials for liver cells, as they contribute to their regeneration and repair.
Pumpkin and beets - Pumpkin contains pectin, riboflavin, beta-carotene and niacin, which accelerate the regeneration of the membranes of liver cells. As for beets, they contain dietary fibers that are not affected by heat treatment. These fibers help reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol and contain the B vitamins that the liver needs.
Kherhov- helps Artichokes clean bile ducts and bile flow and improves the chemical and biological processes in the liver, as well as other functions of the members of the digestive system.
As for fruits, yellow watermelon should be given special attention. Because yellow watermelon helps stop the progression of fatty liver cirrhosis and treat it.
She adds, and you should not neglect avocados, apples, citrus fruits, nuts, eggplant, tomatoes, leafy vegetables and broccoli, as eating them regularly helps protect the liver and preserve its cells from damage.
But in order to maintain the liver in good condition, it is not enough to adhere to a healthy diet, but it must be accompanied by physical activity, giving up eating fried foods and fast foods and reducing citrus, sweets, fatty substances, smoking and alcohol.
