My Journey of Liver Detoxification


By Sameer Reuben

I woke up in the morning tired as usual. It was a Saturday morning and I had slept for a solid nine hours but still felt fatigued. By this time this was a daily ritual, to wake up feeling uneasy and exhausted. I had lost my once healthy appetite and as of recently, I had started skipping meals. Bloating was another issue I was facing now quite often. Vexed by my chronic fatigue I decided to do a bit of research and this is when I came to know about liver detoxification. I had heard about it before but never had I tried it for myself. The liver is the organ that helps our body get rid of toxins. It detoxifies our blood, digest fats, break down hormones and store essential minerals and nutrients. When our liver is not in optimal condition our entire body suffers. In our busy lives, we forget to take care of our body like we should. We are constantly exposed to environmental toxins and pollutants. Additionally, to make conditions worse the unhealthy food we consume puts excessive pressure on our liver. This can lead to an impaired liver.

Luckily there are a number of ways you can detox your liver of harmful toxins and keep it in optimal condition. Here I highlight some of the ways I personally tried and found beneficial for detoxifying the liver.

Drinking Raw Juice:

Fruits and vegetables are nature's gift to mankind. Not only are they delicious but are also packed with essential vitamins and nutrients required for the healthy growth of our bodies. Drinking raw juice is one of the easiest ways to detoxify your liver. Cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cucumber, beets and leafy green vegetables are all good juicing options. I personally recommend juicing raw beets and carrots. This blend is rich in beta-carotene. You can even add lemon or any other citrus fruit for an added dose of vitamin C.

Eat Potassium rich foods:

Potassium is essential as it helps in maintaining blood pressure, regulating fluid balance, reducing fatigue, weakness, constipation, and supporting bone and muscle strength. Beet greens, white beans, soybeans, and lima beans are the foods highest in potassium. Other foods high in potassium include sweet potatoes and bananas. Make sure your daily requirement of potassium is met by incorporating these foods into your diet.

Avoid processed and sugary foods:

Processed foods contain trans fats, preservatives, synthetic ingredients and chemicals that can overwhelm your system, making it progressively harder to function properly. It is best to limit your intake of sugary and processed food so less stress is put on your liver.

Consume Iron-rich foods:

Iron is essential for the development of red blood cells. Excessive Iron is stored in the liver and liver regulates how much Iron is released into the body. Low levels of Iron can lead to anemia and liver dysfunction. Consuming foods that are rich in Iron can help keep your liver healthy. Foods rich in Iron include nuts, grains, meat, fish, tofu, eggs, pulses, beans, Cow or goat liver, and seeds.

Drink detox water:

The easiest and my personal favorite way to detoxify the liver is to drink detox water. To make detox water you only need to add the juice of a fresh lemon in a glass full of water and your detox water is done. Studies have shown that detox water helps to reduce inflammation, DNA fragmentation, brain lipid peroxidation, and liver damage.

Conclusion

If you wish to detoxify your liver than try some of the ways I mentioned above. It is important to keep in mind that some of these might not be beneficial for you if you're on some medication. Also if you have a liver disease or condition it is best to consult a doctor and avoid self-medication as this can exacerbate your condition. With a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle, you can keep your liver in optimal condition.
