Potatoes: Rich in amino acids that help suppress viruses, potatoes are a valuable source of natural sugars that nourish the liver and keep it in optimal condition. They also support glycogen storage, which helps regulate blood sugar levels, prevent fat accumulation in the liver, and maintain a stable metabolism. You can find more information in our article “The Healing Power of Potatoes.”
Radishes: have strong liver cleansing properties. Their active compounds act as natural antiseptics that prevent the spread of harmful microorganisms and strengthen the body's immune defenses.
Cucumbers: An excellent source of life-giving water, cucumbers help hydrate the liver and also contribute to reducing accumulated toxins and fats in the blood. Their natural compounds soothe the digestive system and aid in detoxification processes.
