The liver is one of the most diverse organs, but above all it is vital.
To prevent diseases such as fatty liver disease or liver cancer, drink the following detoxifying foods.
1 / 10Coffee with its caffeine content is an all-rounder among drinks: Coffee increases attention and the ability to concentrate, improves short-term memory, also reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack and when drunk up to four cups black, the stimulant even helps you lose weight and protects the liver from diseases such as obesity.

2 / 10If you prefer tea, you should choose ginger tea, preferably with fresh ingredients.
Thanks to its vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium and iron, the tuber is not only good for the immune system.
The medicinal plant also protects the liver, prevents obesity, improves digestion and thus helps with detoxification.
In combination with turmeric, ginger can specifically help against fatty liver disease - added to food or mixed with carrots in tea, juice or shake, which ultimately also helps you lose weight.
Turmeric can even reduce the risk of fatty liver disease developing into severe liver inflammation such as cirrhosis.

3 / 10Fennel is known for its calming, anti-inflammatory effects and relieves digestive tract complaints such as flatulence and abdominal pain.
Drink fennel tea regularly, which not only stimulates the kidneys but also relieves the strain on the liver.

4 / 10 Stinging nettles on the skin are very unpleasant, but when drunk as tea the plant has a stimulating and detoxifying effect.
Nettle tea is not only recommended to help with cystitis, it is said to stimulate metabolism and help detoxify the liver and bile.

5 / 10Why not do something good for your liver first thing in the morning?
A freshly squeezed grapefruit juice or straight juice from the supermarket is just the thing.
A splash of lemon juice further increases the positive effect on the bile and liver and prevents the storage of fat.

6 / 10 A delicious orange juice for breakfast also tastes refreshing.
The popular citrus fruit also helps fatty liver disease heal itself.
Oranges are rich in the secondary plant substances polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
To increase the effect on the liver, you can mix orange juice with grapefruit and lemons.

7 / 10Drink beetroot juice straight away - prepared yourself or bought - and help your body and liver detoxify.
The red tuber is an ideal food to prevent fatty liver disease.
At the same time, the vegetables are rich in valuable nutrients such as folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamin C and B and thus support the immune system.
Beetroot can reduce high blood pressure due to its nitrite content, but its oxalic acid content can contribute to the formation of kidney stones.
People who are prone to this should keep consumption low.

8 / 10 Some people only like to drink tomato juice on vacation on the plane, but this juice - if you drink it regularly - can relieve the strain on the liver and prevent or reverse fatty degeneration.
Tomatoes have a high water content and are rich in the antioxidant glutathione, which helps in detoxification and supports the healing of fatty liver disease.

9 / 10 Cucumber juice also helps the liver to regenerate and prevent diseases such as fatty liver disease - ideal first thing in the morning or as a drink in between.
And the vegetable consists of 95 percent water, which is why cucumber juice is also good for quenching thirst.
The healthy ingredients of the cucumber are located directly under the peel, so you should also use the peel for a detoxifying effect.
If you don't have a juicer, it's best to cut the thoroughly washed cucumber as small as possible, puree it with a hand blender and press the cucumber pulp through a sieve or cloth - the cucumber juice is ready!

According to
the professional association of practicing gastroenterologists in Germany.

In Germany alone, 20 million people live with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFL, Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease).
NAFL is the most common form of fatty liver disease worldwide.
The tricky thing is that liver disease does not show any specific symptoms, so those affected often misinterpret signs such as fatigue.
Diet has the greatest influence on the development of fatty liver disease.
Especially since there are no medications for it yet.
Various foods from fruits and vegetables can help detoxify a fatty liver.
These not only include garlic, broccoli, spinach, radishes and tomatoes, lemons, grapefruit and turmeric are also good for the liver.
