Dr. Michael T Murray answered:Certain foods are particularly helpful in supporting liver health because they contain the nutrients your body needs to produce and activate the dozens of enzymes within the liver involved in the various phases of detoxification of harmful chemicals. Such foods include:
- Garlic, legumes, onions, eggs, and other foods with a high sulfur content
- Good sources of water-soluble fibers, such as pears, oat bran, apples, and legumes
- Cabbage-family vegetables, especially broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage Artichokes, beets, carrots, dandelion greens, and many herbs and spices such as turmeric, cinnamon, red pepper, ginger, and licorice
- Green foods like wheat grass juice, dehydrated barley grass juice, chlorella, and spirulina.
