BEATS AND CARROTS:

Beets and carrots are cool-season vegetables that add vibrant color and fresh flavor to your healthy diet. Though they are usually consumed as root vegetables, beet and carrot greens are also edible and highly nutritious.
Both extremely are high in plants flavonoids and beta-carotene. 
This helps stimulate and improve overall liver function.
Beet juice may increase blood flow to the brain and help prevent dementia, according to Wake Forest University researchers. The body converts nitrates in beets to nitric oxide, a compound that relaxes arteries and improves blood circulation and oxygenation within the brain.

Carrots may help prevent leukemia, according to a study published in the November 2011 issue of the "Journal of Medicinal Food." In the tissue culture study, 72 hours of exposure to carrot juice extract promoted early cell death in human leukemia cells. Researchers concluded that carrots show strong potential for treatment of leukemia.

GREEN TEA

GREEN TEA:

Green tea, native to China and India, has been consumed and hailed for its numerous health benefits for centuries globally, but has only recently gained popularity in the US.
Green tea is liver loving beverage is full of plant antioxidants and catechins, a constituent known to assist the livers overall function. 
Green tea is made from un-oxidized leaves and is one of the less processed types of tea {with white tea the least} and therefore contains one of the most antioxidants and beneficial polyphenols.

LEAFY GREEN VEGETABLES

LEAFY GREEN VEGETABLES:

Leafy green vegetables are One of the most powerful allies in cleansing the liver that can be eaten raw, cooked, or juiced. High in plant chlorophylls, greens literally suck up environmental toxins from the blood stream and the body. 
They eliminate and neutralize chemicals and pesticides and are powerful protective mechanisms for the liver. 
Everyone should eat at least five servings of vegetables daily {that’s about 2 1/2 cups of cooked vegetables}, and that includes leafy greens. As long as they're prepared in a healthy way, leafy greens, like other nonstarchy vegetables, are a great addition to your diet and offer countless health benefits.

AVOCADOS

AVOCADOS:

This nutrient super food helps the body produce glutathione, which is necessary for the liver to cleanse harmful toxins. Recent studies show that avocados greatly improve liver health. 
Here are some of the most abundant nutrients, in a single 3.5 ounce (100 gram) serving (3): Vitamin K: 26% of the RDA, Folate: 20% of the RDA, Vitamin C: 17% of the RDA, Potassium: 14% of the RDA, Vitamin B5: 14% of the RDA, Vitamin B6: 13% of the RDA, Vitamin E: 10% of the RDA.Then it contains small amounts of Magnesium, Manganese, Copper, Iron, Zinc, Phosphorous, Vitamin A, B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin) and B3 (Niacin).

This is coming with 160 calories, 2 grams of protein and 15 grams of healthy fats. Although it contains 9 grams of carbs, 7 of those are fiber so there are only 2 “net” carbs, making this a low-carb friendly plant food. Avocados do not contain any cholesterol or sodium, and are low in saturated fat. I personally don’t think that matters, but this is one of the reasons they are favored by many “old school” experts who still believe these things are inherently harmful.

APPLES

APPLES:

Apples are high in pectin, apples hold the chemical constituents needed for the body to cleanse and release toxins from the digestive tract. This makes it easier for the liver to handle the toxic load during the cleansing process. 
Apples satisfy hunger for few calories so it’s not surprising that they can be part of a healthy diet that promotes weight loss. And in a recent study, dried apples also helped participants lose some weight. People who ate a cup of dried apples daily for a year lost some weight and lowered their cholesterol and heart disease markers.

OLIVE OIL

OLIVE OIL:

Cold pressed organic oil such as olive oil, hemp seed oil, flax seed oil, are great for the liver. 
When used in moderation they help the body produce a lipid base that can suck up harmful toxins.
In this way it takes some of the burden off of the liver in terms of the toxic overload that many of us suffer from. 
Olive oil benefits are so extensive that it is considered a functional food with components that contribute to its overall therapeutic qualities including a reduction of risk factors of coronary heart disease, the prevention of cancers, and alterations of immune and inflammatory responses.

WHOLE GRAINS

WHOLE GRAINS:

Grains such as brown rice, which are rich in B complex vitamins, improve the overall fat metabolization and liver function as well as liver congestion. 
The U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) recommends eating grains daily, and at least half of those should be whole grains, Studies show that eating whole grains instead of refined grains lowers the risk of many chronic diseases. While benefits are most pronounced for those consuming at least 3 servings daily.

CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES

CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES:

Cruciferous vegetables will add necessary enzyme production in the liver and support it. These natural enzymes will help flush out carcinogens and other toxins from the body. 
One of the big reasons to eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables is that they may help to lower your risk of getting cancer.
A review of research published in the October 1996 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association showed that 70% or more of the studies found a link between cruciferous vegetables and protection against cancer.

LEMONS AND LIMES

LEMONS AND LIMES:

These citrus fruits contain high amounts of vitamin C, which aids the body in synthesizing toxic material into substances that can be absorbed by water. Drinking freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice mixed in water in the morning will help stimulate your liver. 
Lemon and lime water liquefies bile while inhibiting excess bile flow. Warm lemon and lime water aids digestion. Its atomic composition is similar to saliva and the hydrochloric acid of digestive juices. 
The liver produces more enzymes from lemon and lime water than any other food, according to A.F. Beddoe, author of Biological Ionization as Applied to Human Nutrition. The lemon and lime water helps bowels eliminate naturally and easily.

WALNUTS

WALNUTS:

Walnuts contain antioxidants that are so powerful at free-radical scavenging that researchers called them "remarkable,"7 and research has shown that walnut polyphenols may help prevent chemically-induced liver damage.
Walnuts contain several unique and powerful antioxidants that are available in only a few commonly eaten foods. This includes the quinone juglone, the tannin tellimagrandin, and the flavonol morin.
Holding high amounts of the amino acid arginine, walnuts aid the liver by detoxifying ammonia. They also support glutathione production in the liver. 
It also aids brain health and a lesser-known benefits of walnuts is their impact on male fertility. Among men who consume a Western-style diet, adding 75 grams (a bit over one-half cup) of walnuts daily significantly improved sperm quality, including vitality, motility, and morphology.

CABBAGE

CABBAGE:

Much like broccoli and cauliflower, eating cabbage will help stimulate the activation of two crucial liver detoxifying enzymes that also help the liver flush out toxins. 
When you eat cabbage, fiber-related nutrients in this cruciferous vegetable bind together with some of the bile acids in the intestine in such a way that they simply stay inside the intestine and pass out of your body in a bowel movement, rather than getting absorbed along with the fat they have emulsified. When this happens, your liver needs to replace the lost bile acids by drawing upon your existing supply of cholesterol, and as a result, your cholesterol level drops down. 
Cabbage provides you with this cholesterol-lowering benefit whether it is raw or cooked. However, a recent study has shown that the cholesterol-lowering ability of raw cabbage improves significantly when it is steamed.

TURMERIC

TURMERIC:

The livers favored spice. Turmeric helps boost liver detox by assisting the enzymes again that actively flush out known dietary carcinogens. Other liver cleansing foods are artichokes, asparagus, kale, and Brussels sprouts. 
Eating the 14 foods listed above is a great way to keep your liver functioning properly. However, for best results, I would recommend doing a liver cleanse. 
Doing a liver cleanse at least two to three (2 to 3) times a year will eliminate any foreign substances that you may have trapped inside of your liver.
