The liver plays an important role in the body. While it largely takes care of itself, a person can help maintain liver health by consuming certain foods and drinks.
Here is a list of drinks that help in natural cleansing and detoxification of the liver according to Medical News.
Coffee
Coffee is good for the liver, especially because it protects against issues such as fatty liver disease. According to a 2014 study that appears in theJournal of Clinical Gastroenterology,the protective effects of coffee are due to how it influences liver enzymes. The journal reports that coffee seems to reduce fat buildup in the liver. It also increases protectiveantioxidants in the liver. Compounds in coffee also help liver enzymes rid the body of cancer-causing substances.

The oatmeal drink is a perfect detox drink that helps in flushing out toxins from the body.
Tumeric drink

Grapefruit drink
TheWorld Journal of Gastroenterologystudy also mentions grapefruit as a helpful food. Grapefruit contains two primary antioxidants: naringin and naringenin. These may help protect the liver from injury by reducing inflammation and protecting the liver cells. The compounds may also reduce fat buildup in the liver and increase the enzymes that burn fat.

I am an enthusiast with a deep understanding of wellness, particularly detoxification and liver health. My expertise is demonstrated by a comprehensive grasp of the concepts mentioned in the article by Akinwale Akinyoade on May 20, 2020, regarding the role of detoxification in maintaining optimal health.
Detoxification involves the process of resting, cleaning, and nourishing the body from the inside out. This holistic approach aims to eliminate toxins and promote overall well-being. The liver, a vital organ in the body, plays a crucial role in detoxification. While the liver is self-sustaining, certain practices can enhance its health.
The article mentions several drinks that aid in natural cleansing and detoxification of the liver:
-
Coffee: Backed by a 2014 study in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, coffee is highlighted for its protective effects against issues like fatty liver disease. Coffee influences liver enzymes, reducing fat buildup, increasing antioxidants, and aiding in the elimination of cancer-causing substances.
-
Ginger and Lemon Drink: This classic detox drink is praised for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, promoting body detoxification, accelerating weight loss, relieving bloating, boosting metabolism, and preventing illness.
-
Oatmeal Drink: Oats, rich in fiber, minerals, and vitamins, are noted for their role in cleaning the intestines and liver. A 2017 study in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences suggests that beta-glucans from oats may reduce fat stored in the liver.
-
Turmeric Drink: Turmeric, a spice used for centuries in Ayurveda, is highlighted for its detoxifying properties. Daily consumption of turmeric tea is recommended to help eliminate toxins from the body.
-
Green Tea: A 2015 study in the World Journal of Gastroenterology suggests that green tea may help reduce overall fat content, combat oxidative stress, and alleviate signs of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
-
Grapefruit Drink: Grapefruit is recognized for its role in liver health. The World Journal of Gastroenterology study mentions antioxidants like naringin and naringenin in grapefruit, which may protect the liver by reducing inflammation, protecting liver cells, and reducing fat buildup.
It's important to note that the information provided in the article serves as an informational resource and does not replace professional diagnosis and treatment. As an expert, I would emphasize the importance of consulting healthcare professionals for personalized advice on wellness and detoxification.
