How the liver detoxifies together with food

Speaking of the liver, I believe everyone knows that many harmful wastes in our body, including some drugs, are detoxified through the liver. The detoxification principle of the liver is very complicated to explain. In order to reduce the burden on the liver, we can also eat some detoxifying foods to help the liver. Next, let’s talk about which foods can help the liver detoxify.

The fiber contained in sweet potatoes is soft and easy to digest, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and help defecation. The best way to eat sweet potatoes is to roast them with the skin on and eat them together. They taste refreshing and sweet.

green beans:

Mung beans have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, removing dampness and promoting diuresis, relieving heat and thirst. Drinking more mung bean soup is beneficial for detoxification and swelling reduction. However, the cooking time should not be too long to avoid the destruction of organic acids and vitamins and reduce the effect.

Job’s tears:

Job's tears can promote blood circulation and water metabolism in the body, exert a diuretic and swelling-reducing effect, and help improve edema-type obesity. Barley water is a good detoxification method. Simply boil the barley in boiling water, then add a little sugar according to personal taste. It is a natural skin whitening product.

Honey is afraid of high temperatures, as too high temperatures will destroy the nutrients in the honey. Honey has been a good product for detoxification and beauty since ancient times. It contains many amino acids, vitamins and fructose needed by the human body. Eating honey regularly can not only excrete toxins, but also has a good effect on preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases, neurasthenia and other diseases, and caring for the liver. Honey contains more than 180 kinds of natural ingredients, of which 60-80% are monosaccharides (fructose and glucose). This kind of sugar is known as "human fuel power" and provides an important source of energy for human activities. It can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body. Therefore, honey is called "jade liquid", "milk for the elderly", etc.
