Your liver does a fantastic job clearing toxins in the body, so there is no need for restrictive juice "cleanses" or "detox diets".

But there are a few things you could eat more of—and a few to cut back on—to help your liver work to the best of its ability.

In this video, we will be talking about the 4 best foods for the liver and also the 4 worst foods for the liver.

So make sure you watch till the end.

The liver is an important organ that helps rid the body of waste or "toxins" and does a fantastic job.

And no restrictive "cleanses" or "detox diets" are needed for the liver to do its job well.

All the blood leaving your stomach and intestines pass through the liver.

The liver processes the blood and keeps the healthy nutrients while excreting the waste.

Additionally, the liver is identified as having over 500 other important functions including:

1. Producing bile, which helps carry away waste and breaks down fat in the small intestine

2. Producing cholesterol and specific proteins that help carry fat through the body.

3. Clearing the blood of drugs and other toxins.

4. Regulating blood clotting.

5. Removing bacteria from the blood and producing immune factors to help fight infections.

According to the Fatty Liver Foundation, about 100 million Americans have a condition known as fatty liver, which is when fat accumulates in the liver and causes inflammation and generally makes it harder for your liver to function at its best.

Fatty liver disease can be caused by alcohol or diet.

In 5 million people, fatty liver can progress to a condition known as liver cirrhosis and potentially end in liver failure.

Even if you don't have a diagnosed liver condition, it's important to take care of your liver, just like it's important to take care of your heart and brain.

You can do so by maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and eating the foods that help your liver work to the best of its ability—while cutting back on a few that aren't as helpful.
