We often take our body for granted
and especially our vital organs including the liver which is the body’s second
largest internal organ which plays an important role in maintaining good
health. It detoxifies the toxins that enter our bloodstream, produces bile
which is essential for breakdown of fats for digestion.
To protect the liver we need to avoid
excessive amounts of alcohol, stop taking needless medications without doctor’s
advice, use limited or no aerosol cleaner, be cautious while breathing paint or
other chemicals sprays; all these taken excessively can cause liver damage.
Eating the proper food along with
other protecting sources will keep the liver healthy. Foods that help cleaning the liver and which
are good for liver health are garlic, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels
sprouts as these foods contain enzymes which help the liver to clean of the
toxins and thus promote a healthy liver.
Fruits like apples, strawberries, plums are also good as they protect
the liver from free radicals. Herbal
supplements for liver are also safe to use. Eating a well balanced diet, taking
natural supplements and exercising regularly helps the liver to remain healthy.
If we maintain our liver health, it will not only
keep the liver healthy but also the overall health as well.
