The liver is the second largest organ in the body (1). And you need to consume certain foods for a healthy liver. The organ detoxifies and helps in protein synthesis, metabolism, and the production of chemicals required for the digestive process. It also stores glycogen and plays a role in bile production, hormone secretion, and decomposition of red blood cells (2). Therefore, any liver disorder may hamper all these metabolic functions. So how can we protect the liver? What is the best food for liver health? Do not worry! We can help you with these doubts. Continue reading to learn about the 23 foods that promote liver health.

23 Best Foods For A Healthy Liver 

1. Garlic

Detoxification is important to keep your liver healthy. Garlic is rich in allicin, an antioxidant that protects the body from oxidative damage (3). It also exhibits hepatoprotective (liver protection) effects, which stimulate the liver to activate the enzymes that can flush out harmful substances (4).

A study published in Advanced Biomedical Research stated that 400 mg garlic powder could reduce body weight and fat mass among subjects with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disorder (NAFLD) without disturbing lean body mass (5).

Garlic Dosage For A Healthy Liver
  • 1 clove of raw garlic in the morning every day.
  • 1-2 teaspoons of minced/chopped/pasted garlic in cooked food per day.

2. Green Tea

Green tea is rich in antioxidants and has many health benefits. The main polyphenolsi  XA family of naturally occurring organic compounds found in many plant-based foods with disease-preventing properties. responsible for all the goodness of green tea are the catechinsi  XA substance found in tea with antioxidant properties that helps protect cells from damage due to free radicals (unstable atoms). . Chinese scientists confirmed that green tea drinkers showed a significant reduction in the risk of liver cancer, liver disease, liver steatosisi  X Also known as fatty liver, it is a common condition caused by an increased build-up of excess fat in the liver. , liver cirrhosis, and hepatitis (6).

Researchers from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial on nonalcoholic fatty liver patients. They received either green tea extract or green tea extract supplement for 12 weeks. After the 12th week, it was found that green tea extract significantly reduced the liver enzymes associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (7).

However, some studies have shown the harmful effects of overconsumption of tea, which may be due to three main factors: (i) its caffeine content, (ii) the presence of aluminum, and (iii) the effects on iron bioavailability.

Hence, green tea may not be healthful for all individuals. Talk to your doctor before consuming green tea for improving your liver health (8).

Green Tea Dosage For Healthy Liver

2-3 cups of green tea per day.

3. Coffee

Coffee is one of the most loved beverages. In addition to its stimulating effects, coffee also has a hepatoprotective role (9). A study on middle-aged Japanese men showed that coffee might offer protective effects against liver dysfunction (10).

Another study published in the Journal of Hepatology showed an inverse relationship between coffee intake and the incidence of chronic liver disease. Participants who drink 3 cups of coffee per day showed lower rates of disease progression than those who drank less than 1 cup/day (11).

Coffee Dosage For A Healthy Liver

2-3 cups of coffee per day.

  • Fluid extract (1:1) – 30-90 drops per day.

You can mix it with bulletproof coffee or milk and consume it for better results.

Kinley Slayed, a blogger, shares her personal experience with liver pain. Highlighting the reluctance of alcoholics to seek medical help, she stresses the importance of dietary changes for liver health. All of this led her to exploring the benefits of turmeric and other spices, and she encourages incorporating them into daily cooking for liver healing. She adds, “Don’t like the flavor of turmeric? Blend it into smoothies, sneak it into salad dressings, soups and stews. I sprinkle in just about everything now. I like it in my eggs every morning…. You can also find this powerhouse in supplement form (i).”

Scientists from Jeju National University, Korea, conducted an experiment and found that the young shoots and leaves of asparagus could help suppress the hepatoma cell growth (cancerous liver cells) and reduce oxidative stress to protect liver cells (33).

Asparagus Dosage For A Healthy Liver

Talk to your doctor to determine how much asparagus you can consume per week.

16. Walnut

Walnuts are rich in healthy fats that have anti-inflammatory properties. In a study, high-fat diet-induced fatty liver mice were supplemented with walnuts. This nut helped reduce triglyceride levels in the liver, lowered the levels of enzymes involved in liver homeostasis, and suppressed the genes involved in liver inflammation (34).

Walnut Dosage For A Healthy Liver

7 walnuts per day

17. Red Cabbage

Red cabbage in salads can help protect your liver. A study on rats showed that red cabbage extract reduced liver injury due to oxidative stress (35).

Red Cabbage Dosage For A Healthy Liver

1 cup of cabbage once a day, 2-3 times per week.

18. Whole Grains

Whole grains, such as amaranth, rye, barley, brown rice, quinoa, etc., are rich in dietary fiber, which helps to shed fat and reduce cholesterol. This is good news because whole grains can also help protect against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (36), (37).

Whole Grains Dosage For A Healthy Liver

2-3 servings of whole grain per day.

19. Tomatoes

The juicy red tomatoes are also good for your liver. They contain a good amount of antioxidants that help reduce liver inflammation and injury and protect against liver cancer. A study on rats showed that tomato extract supplementation could help reduce the risk of liver damage (38).
