It’s the body’s largest internal organ that helps turn food into nutrients. The liver also filters toxins and breaks them down so your body can get rid of them.  A balanced diet of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and lean protein make your liver’s job easier.

Whole Grains:  Oats, bulgur, spelt, barley, brown or wild rice and rye.

Vegetables:  Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and collards are loaded with antioxidants and fiber that your liver needs.

Fruits:  Apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries, and raisins are high in fiber. Grapefruit has powerful antioxidants that may help protect your cells and ease the inflammation that can lead to liver disease. NOTE: If you take certain medicines for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or mental health. Grapefruit can affect how they work. Talk with your doctor first if you’re on meds for any of those things.

Lean Protein:  Lean poultry (without the skin), salmon, and beans.
