What do I do to support my liver?

To favor a normal liver function it is important to adopt a healthy diet with 10 portions of fruits and vegetables a day so you get all the fiber, vitamins and minerals you need. 

Only eat whole foods that still have all the fibers, since these will act as a big broom in your digestive tract and help get rid of all the toxins before they can be reabsorbed. Avoid dairy products since pasteurization change a lot of their nutrition elements, making them unusable by the body. 

Only use cold pressed oils (instead of commercial oils and margarines) and raw nuts (instead of roasted) since they will supply good oils to the liver for the production of several hormones (ex. progesterone, estrogen, testosterone…), the control of circulating fats (ex. cholesterol and triglycerides) as well as the absorption of lipid soluble vitamins (ex. vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K).

To help accelerate the process of liver detoxification, a few good herbs can be useful. Boldocynara from A.Vogel contains artichoke, milk thistle, dandelion, boldo and peppermint.
