Liver Cleanse Recipe Ingredients
The ingredients in the liver cleanse recipe work together in synergy and complement each other in terms of liver detox and taste. If you do not like the flavor of some of the ingredients, you do not have to use them. For best results, try to use as much organic ingredients as possible.
Below is a summary of the benefits of each ingredient for liver cleansing, with links to the published studies when available:
Red Beet Root
Beetroot is a rich source of a specific class of antioxidants known as betalains. According to research, beetroot may have a protective effect against oxidative damage to the liver [1]. Other studies have suggested that beetroot may also reduce blood pressure, inflammation, and promote healthy circulation and blood flow [2]. Beets bring a sweet earthy flavor to the liver cleanse recipe, including the dark red attractive color.
Celery
Celery is a very popular ingredient in many juices and cleansing recipes, and has an excellent electrolytes and mineral profile. When it comes to liver health, studies suggested that celery can help to decrease elevated liver enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase AST, alanine aminotransferase ALT, and alkaline phosphatase ALP) and blood lipids [3].
Ginger Root
Ginger is an excellent digestive aid with many health benefits. Studies have suggested that ginger can improve liver enzymes profile and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease characteristics [4]. Ginger brings a very distinct spicy flavor to the liver cleanse recipe.
Carrots
According to research, Retinoic acid, the biologically active form of vitamin A found in carrots may be beneficial in protecting the liver [5]. Other studies suggested that carrots may improve certain liver functions related to Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [6]. Carrots add sweetness to the liver cleanse detox salad.
Red Cabbage
Another popular ingredient in the liver cleanse recipe is red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.). According to research, red cabbage has a potential therapeutic effects in dyslipidemia (Abnormally elevated cholesterol or fats in the blood) and liver injury. Red cabbage is also an excellent source of insoluble fiber. This fiber doesn’t dissolve in water, and typically passes through the gut largely intact. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to the stool which can help to promote regular healthy bowel movement. Think about insoluble fiber as rough brooms inside your colon that grabs accumulated waste buildup and toxins on their way out [7].
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is included in many liver flushes and body cleanse recipes for two main reasons. The first reason, is that lemon juice can help your body get rid of toxins. When it comes to a liver cleanse benefits, lemon juice was suggested by research to have a protective effect on the liver by reducing the levels of serum ALT and AST liver enzymes as well as triacylglycerol and lipid peroxidation in the liver [8].
The second reason you want to add lemon juice to the recipe, is flavor. Lemon juice can balance and enhance the flavor of the recipe, especially the beetroot and celery.
Garlic
Several studies showed that garlic can protect the liver cells from some toxins. Garlic and its constituents have also been reported to inhibit the development of chemically induced tumors in the liver [9].
Liver Cleanse Recipe Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar on its raw unfiltered unpasteurized form, is very effective in removing toxins out of the body at a faster rate. It is considered a staple not only during the liver flush but in many cleansing and detoxification protocols. The combination of apple cider vinegar with lemon and himalayan salt creates a very tasty dressing. Since we published the original recipe three years ago, we got many positive comments from people who use this simple combination as a healthy alternative to other dressings.
