7 drinks to detoxify the liver

Regularly consuming warm lemon water, artichoke tea, apple juice, or mung bean water can help detoxify and support liver function.

Every day, the liver processes a large amount of substances that enter the body. The process of breaking down alcohol and fat takes extra time and can easily affect liver health.

Dr. Doan Vinh Binh from the Medical Information Center at Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City states that a scientific diet, healthy lifestyle, exercise, combined with drinking these seven detoxifying drinks can help detoxify the liver, restore liver function, and maintain overall health.

1. Warm lemonade

Rich in vitamin C, warm lemonade boosts the production of glutathione, an essential compound in the liver’s detox process. Drinking lemonade in the morning stimulates bile secretion and improves digestion. Its natural acidity also helps balance the body’s pH, supports liver enzymes, and reduces fat.

2. Green tea

Green tea is packed with catechin antioxidants that protect liver cells from the harmful effects of alcohol. Regular consumption can improve liver function and promote the breakdown of fats in the body. It also reduces liver inflammation, limits fat buildup in the liver, and slows the progression of liver fibrosis.

3. Apple juice

Apple juice contains malic acid, which helps prevent and improve conditions like gallstones and aids in toxin removal. Drinking apple juice before meals boosts digestive activity, stimulates bile secretion, reduces bloating, and enhances liver efficiency.

4. Artichoke water

Artichoke water contains silymarin, a compound that protects the liver from alcohol-induced damage and promotes liver cell regeneration. Drinking artichoke water after meals supports digestion, improves liver function, reduces bad cholesterol, and benefits heart health.

5. Vegetable juice

Vegetable juices, such as those made from celery, carrots, and winter melon, provide fiber and vitamins that aid in liver detoxification. Including these juices in your diet supports detoxification and overall health.

Celery, rich in apigenin, reduces inflammation and supports liver function, while carrots, full of beta-carotene, protect the liver from oxidative damage.

6. Mung bean water

Mung bean water is packed with antioxidants and natural compounds that detoxify, relieve liver pressure, and encourage liver cell regeneration. Drinking mung bean water after alcohol consumption helps restore balance, reduce fatigue, and prevent long-term liver damage.

7. Apple cider vinegar

Diluted apple cider vinegar regulates lipid metabolism in the liver, controls weight, and prevents fat buildup. The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar also helps regulate blood sugar levels.

The liver can regenerate when properly cared for early on. Dr. Binh recommends getting enough sleep, resting, and exercising moderately to speed up liver regeneration.

People showing signs of liver disease should seek medical attention early to identify the cause and follow their doctor’s treatment plan. Regular supplementation with natural extracts from Wasabia and S. Marianum can enhance detoxification, protect the liver by controlling overactive Kupffer cells, reduce inflammation, and prevent liver damage. These extracts also help prevent liver diseases.
