Here’s a quick list of ways you can support your liver!

  1. All things bitter - bitter greens, coffee (in moderation of course), artichoke, arugula and many more...

  2. Dark leafy greens and brassicas…I LOVE brassicas!!!! Broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale, + more

  3. Green tea - high in antioxidants!! Helps improve liver enzymes and reverse “fatty liver”

  4. Fish high in Omega-3 fatty acids like Salmon and Sardines… I sometimes use canned sardines instead of canned tuna as it contains less mercury and has a great omega-3 profile.

  5. Nuts - high in vitamin E which is an important antioxidant

  6. High fiber foods - oatmeal, flax, chia, vegetables, whole fruits

  7. Blueberries and other dark berries

  8. Herbs and spices you can cook with - turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, rosemary, oregano

  9. Water! This is the easiest and cheapest thing you can do for your liver :)

  10. While not a food, physical activity is too important not to mention here. All forms of exercise help with movement of sugar in your blood and liver. High carbohydrate diets and high blood sugar greatly impact your liver’s health but regular movement especially around meals is a great way to reduce the burden on your liver.

  11. Foods to avoid or eat only in moderation? You probably guessed it - fried foods, alcohol, sugar and refined carbs, excess salt.
