Nutrients beneficial for liver health

Dr. Lilia Starodubtseva, a Russian nutrition expert, points out that drinking a sufficient amount of water is one of the most important components of liver health.

According to her, it is better for the water temperature to be 40-50 degrees Celsius. In addition, you must eat healthy fats, especially omega-3 fatty acids, for the liver to function normally.

She says: "It is ideal to add animal ghee or butter to the diet. It can also be used in cooking. Butter is one of the foods rich in healthy saturated fats. It must be taken into account that the percentage of fat in butter should not be more than 82.5 percent."

In addition, the doctor advises eating fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, and beet juice because they contain dietary fiber. Cruciferous vegetables - such as Brussels sprouts and broccoli - are also beneficial for the liver. Because these products improve the production of enzymes that promote liver detoxification and help fight tumors and restore liver structure.

For her part, Dr. Anastasia Feklistova, a gastroenterologist, points out that following detox diets and nutritional supplements does not help in cleansing the liver of toxins. Because the liver does not need additional help to remove toxic substances from the body.
