1. Cut down on alcohol
Some of the by-products of metabolizing alcohol are toxic. Your liver will prioritize metabolizing alcohol and eliminating the toxins above less toxic waste products. Too much alcohol can strain your liver and decrease its ability to detoxify.
2. Limit sugar and processed foods
A diet high in sugar and processed foods requires your liver to work hard constantly. It must eliminate all the additives and keep your blood sugar levels stable. Choose healthy foods, and your liver will be able to work comfortably and efficiently.
3. Drink enough water
Your kidneys are responsible for eliminating certain toxins, so staying hydrated is essential for them to function properly and detox your body.
4. Eat foods rich in antioxidants
Antioxidants help repair the damage to cells caused by stress, pollution, and aging. Eating a diet high in antioxidants can support the liver to function optimally.
5. Work up a sweat
Sweat eliminates some toxins, so working up a sweat exercising or in a sauna can aid detoxification. Make sure that you drink enough water to stay hydrated.
