According to Dr. Duong Ngoc Van, Medlatec General Hospital, the liver's function and activity will be seriously affected if it has to endure factors such as drinking a lot of alcohol, smoking, eating a lot of saturated fat, and side effects of medication.
Therefore, cleansing the liver will help this organ rebalance its functions and operate more effectively.

Below are natural liver cleansing foods that purify your body every day that you can refer to and apply.
Water
Water accounts for 70% of the body's weight and plays an important role in all metabolic activities between organs. Water helps lubricate joints, regulate body temperature, remove waste, and support the digestive system. Water transports waste and eliminates them through sweat, urine, and breathing. Therefore, drinking plenty of water is very helpful in restoring your liver.
On average, a person should consume about 1.5 - 2 liters of water per day when in a normal state of activity. In case you do high-intensity physical exercise, or stay in the sun for a long time, you need to drink more water.
Turmeric starch
Curcumin is the main ingredient of turmeric starch, which has the effect of purifying the blood, cleansing the liver and eliminating toxins. Not only that, turmeric starch also has the ability to stimulate the gallbladder to produce more bile and increase the quality of the secreted bile. Besides, it also helps eliminate free radicals that are harmful to the body.
For people who regularly drink alcohol or smoke, you can use 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder dissolved in 250ml of filtered water or fresh milk, stir well and drink.
For people who often have to take western medicine and other cases that need to detoxify the liver, you can use 2 tablespoons of turmeric powder dissolved in 250ml of warm water, add ½ teaspoon of ginger, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Drink regularly 3 times/day, use for 7 consecutive days to achieve effectiveness.
Garlic
When we chew or crush garlic, it produces the compound allicin. This substance kills harmful bacteria and supports detoxification, protecting the liver as well as other parts of the digestive system. In addition, garlic also stimulates the necessary enzymes to help the body eliminate toxins.
Eating fresh garlic is the best way to cleanse the liver. However, if you find fresh garlic too difficult to eat, you can combine it with other ingredients to prepare dishes in your daily menu. Garlic should be used immediately to maximize its effects because the longer it is left, the more beneficial ingredients in garlic will gradually disappear.
Green tea
Green tea helps protect the liver from harmful agents thanks to its strong antioxidant properties. In addition, the ingredients in green tea leaves also enhance liver activity, preventing the accumulation of excess fat.
Green bean
Green beans are not only a food but also a folk medicine that is often used to detoxify the liver because they are cold, non-toxic, sweet, and easy to eat. Green beans contain many essential minerals and vitamins, helping to strengthen the body and improve the health of sick people.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit is a fruit that contains a lot of vitamin C as well as fiber, has high antioxidant capacity, supports detoxification and enhances liver function.
