Choose A High-Fiber Diet, including brown rice, whole-wheat bread and fresh fruits and vegetables. Crunchy fruits and vegetables, such as apples and carrots, contain chemicals that increase the activity of enzymes in the liver. Apples also contain quercetin, a compound that helps the body flush out uric acid.
Eat foods that contain organic sulfur, which helps stimulate the body’s detoxification process. Cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, bok choy, garlic and onions are all high in sulfur content.
Don’t forget the essential fatty acids. Found in oily fish, beans, raw nuts and vegetable oils, essential fatty acids help support liver cell membranes and aid detoxification.
Drink orange juice, which is rich in citrate, a mineral that helps eliminate toxins in the kidneys.
Take antioxidant supplements. Vitamins C and E and CoQ10 all function as antioxidants, scouring out free radicals (oxygen molecules that damage cells) and making more oxygen available to your system, which aids the detoxification process.
Use herbal supplements such as green tea, garlic and milk thistle to help your liver eliminate toxins.
