Ice creams, pastries, peanuts, alcohol. A diet too rich in sugars and fats often causes pain in the liver. Here are ten foods to consume daily to cleanse this vital organ and gain energy.

Garlic
While it is good for the heart (but causes bad breath), it also helps flush all toxins from the body. Garlic, which can be eaten raw, is rich in selenium and allicin.
Avocado
In recent years, avocado toast has been famous in all healthy vegetarian canteens, and that’s good. Avocado is rich in fatty acids, which help regenerate the liver after overly generous or watered aperitifs.
Green Tea
To “cleanse” the liver, it is recommended to drink one to three cups of green tea while avoiding overconsumption, which would harm the body. This drink has draining properties which makes it a perfect ally as part of a detox cure.
The Lemon
Many nutritionists recommend consuming it in the morning, on an empty stomach as soon as you get out of bed, in the form of juice, diluted or not in a little lukewarm water. Lemon helps in the production of bile which helps to cleanse the liver.
Nuts
Glutathione and omega-3 fatty acids are found in this nut. That is why all those who suffer from liver problems and have transit problems are encouraged to eat a handful of them each day. Nuts help to partially eliminate ammonia, which is often the cause of certain diseases.
Turmeric
This spice, very present in Indian gastronomy, treats liver disorders and has detoxifying properties thanks to curcumin, a powerful antioxidant. A few grams sprinkled on dishes help protect this precious organ.
Black Radish
Originally from Asia, this black root with thick white flesh facilitates digestion and can, in particular, be enjoyed in salads or juice. It increases the action of liver enzymes.
Grapefruit
Like many citrus fruits, grapefruit, rich in vitamin C, is beneficial for the proper functioning of the body and our organs. It is recommended as part of a diet because it promotes fat elimination and purifies the liver.
Spinach
Popeye loves it. The kids are a lot less. However, spinach, which contains antioxidants, preserves the liver. For best results, eat them cooked or sprouted with broccoli and sprinkled with a bit of rosemary. The ideal combo to boost the body.
Beet
The presence of betacyanin gives this food its purplish-pink color. A glass of beet juice for a fortnight improves blood circulation and eliminates toxins. It can also be eaten raw (in pieces or grated) with, for example, apples or cooked as a mash.
