Your liver and arteries work together to keep you healthy, but exposure to different stressors can affect both—potentially leading to serious health concerns.
Top stressors to the liver and arteries:
• Smoking
• Alcohol
• Drugs
• Toxins
• Viruses
• Bacteria
• Junk food
• Sugar
• Seed oils
• Refined carbohydrates
The two most powerful foods for liver and blood vessel health are garlic and onions. They are packed with antioxidants and may help with issues like oxidation, inflammation, fibrosis, and calcification.
Garlic and onions are also liver-cleansing foods. They're both high in sulfur, which is involved in the body’s detoxification processes. This is crucial to help deal with exposure to different stressors.
More onion and garlic benefits:
• Antimicrobial properties
• Natural blood thinning effects
• Improves insulin sensitivity
• Optimizes lipids
• Increases bile
• Prevents bile sludge
• Promote healthy blood pressure
You can easily include these powerful ingredients in your diet in various ways, from stews to salad dressings and even keto pizza. Be sure to use fresh garlic and onion for the most potent effects.

0:46.8 | the toxicity that's in the blood. It has various enzymes to turn these poisons into harmless particles. |

0:55.6 | very, very hard to keep you healthy. |
0:58.4 | However, since you live on planet Earth, |
