The liver is the engine of our body, but how many times do we pay attention to keeping it healthy? Our liver plays an important role in digesting, metabolizing and manufacturing essential compounds. A weak liver can lower the quality of life and can become one major reason for the occurrence of serious health issues in the future.
Detoxing our liver to upkeep its health with Ayurveda, is as easy as making a few changes to our diet. Ayurveda lists a few easily available food items that can help you detox your liver naturally:
1. Garlic – it helps the liver to activate enzymes that flush our toxins. Also, it has high levels of Allicin which has antioxidants, antibiotic & antifungal qualities and Selenium which increases the action of antioxidants. Both aid in the liver in cleansing.
2. Carrot – they are very high in plant-flavonoids and beta-carotene, which stimulates and supports the overall liver functions. Vitamin A in carrots prevents liver disease.
