Though people rarely consider it, food is medicine. So one of the best ways to heal your body is through a nutritious diet. And because your liver is a critical organ for processing what you eat, it makes perfect sense to eat foods that support its health.
Caring for your liver is especially important when your gut is imbalanced. Your liver has to filter, process, and break down harmful compounds in the foods you eat, as well as toxins that are created in your gut by yeast or bacterial overgrowth. Alcohol, drugs, and environmental pollutants can take their toll on your liver too, causing it to become inefficient and sluggish.
