14 Foods that Cleanse the Liver"
The liver is a very special organ, and if truth be known probably the one most abused by most of us. Everybody seems to be taxing their liver, those personal life chooses we make. Some of us work the poor gland in overdrive. That's why it is important to know what foods are good to eat, for a healthy liver.
The drinking of alcohol (how many of y'all can drink just one), recreational drug use, prescription drugs, and even the toxic poisons sprayed on our fruits and vegetable. All over work our poor livers.
The liver has a lot work to do to keep us healthy. So let's have a look and see how we can help keep our liver healthy.
The liver plays a vital role in our digestive system. It has a wide range of functions. Detoxification is one of it's major functions (at least in my opinion, since we live in a toxic world), it also produces protein, and biochemicals necessary for digestion.
This over worked gland also play a major role in our metabolism, some of it's functions includes storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis, hormone production, and of course, as previously mentioned, detoxification.
The liver produces bile, an alkaline compound which aids in digestion via the emulsification of lipids. The liver's highly specialized tissues regulate a wide variety of high-volume biochemical reactions, including the synthesis and breakdown of small and complex molecules, many of which are necessary for normal vital functions. Estimates regarding the organ's total number of functions vary, but textbooks generally cite it at around 500 or so.

Liver Rescue Version 4+ 120 VeganCaps™ You Only Have One Liver And You Can't Live Without It! Keeping the liver healthy is essential to good health. And most peoples livers are quite challenged and weakened with a toxic overload. One of the livers functions is to filter toxic materials from the blood, and if it is not functioning at optimum levels, your health is compromised. The healthier you live your life, the less stress there is on any organ, including the liver.
As hard as the liver works, the organ is quite friable (bleeds easily). To keep the liver working at optimum levels, it needs to be fed, so to speak. Everyone is finding out the important role that antioxidants play in the body. They inhibit damage to organs by free radicals. So, to help keep the liver healthy, one substance that is needed is antioxidants.
Where do you find these antioxidants? One of the best places is through fruits and vegetables. A healthy portion of fruits, mostly berries, are rich in antioxidants.
Fiber is needed in the digestion process to remove an measure of fat from the foods we eat as the insoluble portion through the digestive tract.
Any food that is high in B-vitamins promotes liver health. Think of eating more fish, eggs and dairy products. Salmon is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which are potent sources for heart health and liver functioning.
The liver has a whole lot of work to do. (I didn't even give it a thought while I was younger.) The liver helps itself because the bile that it produces, also helps cleanse it. Any foods that aid in removing waste from the intestines also helps reduce what the liver has to deal with. Nutrient-rich foods help the liver to do its job.
Drink lots of water to help dilute and remove the toxic substances from our systems.

Indeed, liver is very important for us. Because it can detoxicate the food,which we intake. And drinking wine or beer can destroy liver a lot.
