Experts from the Rospotrebnadzor portal “Healthy Nutrition” have named 5 super-healthy products for the liver.
In particular, experts draw attention to the positive effects of pumpkin. This vegetable, according to them, contains substances with a hepatoprotective effect, which help regenerate liver cells and maintain active cholesterol metabolism, preventing it from accumulating. In addition, pumpkin contains a lot of fiber, which has a choleretic and anti-inflammatory effect.
Also, experts highlight beets among the most useful products for the liver. The root vegetable is a very rich source of vitamins A, group B and phosphorus, which provide the liver with building material for cells. In addition, due to fiber, beets resist bile stagnation.
In addition, the liver condition is improved by eating red berries, including cherries, raspberries, and cranberries. Such berries contain substances that help the liver cope with damage due to the ability to regenerate new cells.
Green tea, in turn, effectively protects against fatty liver disease.
“Scientists have proven that tea is involved in the metabolism of various types of fat. It is green tea that reduces the level of total cholesterol and “bad” cholesterol (LDL), which helps prevent fatty liver disease (hepatosis) and atherosclerosis,” the experts clarified.
Another product that is beneficial for the liver is turmeric. According to experts, the beneficial essential oils and curcumin it contains have an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing the toxic load and counteracting oxidative stress.
Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote that it is beneficial for adults to consume 50 grams of dark chocolate daily, according to biotechnologist Dmitry Kulikov.
