One vegetable you should consume are beets hey are rich in betalains, a type of antioxidant that has been shown to support liver detoxification. These antioxidants neutralize toxins and help in their removal from the body. Additionally, beets are high in fiber and nutrients like iron and potassium, which further support liver health.

Spinach, a leafy green wonder, is packed with a variety of antioxidants and nutrients beneficial for the liver. It contains glutathione, a molecule that assists the liver in the detoxification process. It is not easy to get gluthathione unless you take a reduced form or its precursor N acetyl cysteine. I always incorporate gluthathione into one’s daily vitamin regimen Moreover, the high levels of folate and vitamin C in spinach help in protecting the liver from damage and inflammation
