6 Foods to support the liver
Cruciferous Vegetables
Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and kale are rich in antioxidants and sulfur compounds that support liver detoxification.
These vegetables help the liver break down toxins and eliminate them from the body, reducing the risk of liver damage.
Try our whole roasted cauliflower or Paprika Steak, broccolini and asparagus recipe. Available on the Liver cleanse meal plan.
Fatty Fish
Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
These healthy fats help reduce inflammation and protect the liver from disease. Including fatty fish in your diet can improve liver function and promote overall health.
Try our Tuna cups, Lemon Salmon salad or Smoked rainbow trout rocket, fennel and macadamia recipes. Available on the Liver cleanse meal plan.
Green Tea
Green tea is packed with antioxidants called catechins, which have been shown to protect the liver from damage. Regular consumption of green tea can help reduce fat accumulation in the liver and improve its function. Opt for unsweetened green tea for maximum benefits.
Turmeric
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin helps reduce liver inflammation and damage, making it an excellent food for liver health. Add turmeric to curries, soups, or smoothies for a flavorful boost.
Try our Turmeric latte recipe.
Walnuts
Walnuts are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and amino acids that support liver health. These nutrients help protect the liver from damage and promote detoxification. Snack on a handful of walnuts or add them to salads for a nutritious crunch.
Try our choc walnut loaf available on the Zing Wellbeing meal plans.
Garlic
Garlic is known for its sulfur compounds that support liver detoxification and reduce inflammation. Including garlic in your meals can help boost liver health and protect it from damage. Add fresh garlic to your dishes for a flavorful and beneficial twist.
By incorporating these liver-friendly foods into your diet, you can support optimal liver function and overall well-being. Remember to maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins for a healthy liver and a healthier you.
