Let's talk about the best foods to clean out your liver or shall we say just make the liver cleaner because many of us don't realize that the liver is not

like a sponge that holds toxins.

It's a organ that detoxifies, it removes toxins,

unless you have a fatty liver.

So three different problems with the liver,

you can have a fatty liver,

you can have an inflame liver or a

combination and then that inflammation creates scar tissue and then you can develop cirrhosis.

So the question is like what type of foods could you eat to make the liver

healthier and cleaner? Let me just first briefly touch on what the liver does.

I'm not going to go through all 500 functions, but it does a lot. It actually turns ammonia into urea.

So if there's a problem with the liver, you get this backup of ammonia and you can even actually smell it on someone's

breath sometimes when you go to like a nursing home it smells like ammonia

that is what's happening liver damage it's backing up it can go into the brain and create a lot of toxicity.

So that's one thing it does.

It helps detoxify ammonia which comes from certain protein metabolism breakdown. Then we get the next one the buffering of

hormones. There's certain things in the liver that help buffer hormones. If so

if they're too much or they're too little the body will regulate the amount of active form of a certain hormone based on the needs, especially estrogen, cortisol, and even testosterone. So for example if you have cirrhosis of the liver

you can get a massive buildup of estrogen and if you're male and you're older and you

have cirrhosis of the liver,

your skin becomes very, very smooth, you lose body hair, you might get manboops,

creating all sorts of estrogenic effects.
