What can I eat to nourish the liver?

Foods that support liver health:
1. Leafy green vegetables: Such as spinach, broccoli, and Chinese cabbage, rich in antioxidants that help the liver detoxify.
2. Citrus fruits: Such as lemons, oranges, and grapefruits, high in vitamin C, which promotes liver health.
3. Nuts: Such as almonds, walnuts, and Brazil nuts, rich in healthy fats and antioxidants that aid in liver repair.
4. Legumes: Such as black beans, mung beans, and tofu, which provide protein and fiber to support normal liver function.
5. Whole grains: Such as oats, brown rice, and whole wheat bread, providing B vitamins that support liver function.
6. Green tea: Contains antioxidants that enhance the liver's detoxification capacity.
