REJUVENATION FOOD #1 GUACAMOLE

Liver health is directly tied to your overall health, and poor liver health
could very well be the root cause of many diseases that currently affect
millions of people worldwide. Often assaulted with toxic substances like
high-fructose corn syrup, which can ‘overburden’ the liver and subsequently
lead to complications, it is very likely that your liver has experienced at
least some degree of damage due to dietary and environmental factors. In
fact, the only way to avoid the buildup of toxins in the liver would be to
eat a nearly perfect diet free of additives, fillers, modified ingredients,
or chemicals — virtually the opposite of the average American diet, which
critically lacks any liver cleansing foods.

Thankfully, it is very possible to repair your liver naturally and help
release excessive toxin buildup through the power of healing foods. Here are
5 natural liver cleansing foods:

1. Cleanse Your Liver with Avocados
Avocados have been shown to naturally protect and repair your liver.
Containing a high amount of glutathione-producing compounds, avocados can
actually help boost the ability of the liver to cleanse itself. Astonishing
research has even shown that consuming one or two avocados per week for as
little as 30 days can make a serious difference in the state of your liver
health. The best part? Avocados can be enjoyed with virtually any meal, and
are available throughout the world. Try adding in some fresh, organic
avocados with your next meal to reap the benefits of liver cleansing foods
like this one.

2. Garlic
The superfood garlic, which is known for its ability to fight against cancer
and infections naturally, is also among the many great liver cleansing foods
as it is very useful in repairing a compromised liver. While the benefits of
garlic for liver health and beyond are many, one reason for its superior
effects have to do with the fact that garlic contains numerous
sulfur-containing compounds that are known to activate the liver enzymes
responsible for expelling toxins from the body. Another lies in the presence
of both allicin and selenium, two important nutrients that play an integral
role in the protection of the liver from damage.

3. Turmeric
Turmeric can uniquely assist the enzymes that are responsible for flushing
out known dietary carcinogens. The result is enhanced protection against
liver damage, and even regeneration of affected liver cells. Turmeric is
also notably responsible for improving the health of the gallbladder as
well. These benefits are in addition to the shocking ability to turmeric to
combat cancer in a number of studies. Researchers at the UCLA also found
that curcumin — the ‘key’ compound within turmeric — exhibits
cancer-blocking properties. The lab found that the enzymes in the patients’
mouths responsible for promoting cancer spread and growth were inhibited by
curcumin supplementation. The ingestion of curcumin intake even blocked the
spread of the malignant cells.

4. Lemon and Lime
While not exactly one of the liver cleansing foods, warm water with lemon or
lime each morning could be one of the simplest and most advantageous methods
of improving the health of your liver. High in vitamin C and potassium,
lemons can help regulate biological functions. Some experts, such as A.F.
Beddoe — who wrote the book Biological Ionization as Applied to Human
Nutrition, have also stated that the liver produces more enzymes in response
to water with lemon than to any other food.
