Tomatoes: they contain important trace elements, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals that you can use to support various liver functions. Lycopene is a favorite nutrient that the liver admires: the liver uses it to protect itself from cell damage, and in addition, lycopene helps the liver detoxify red blood cells safely, smoothly, and efficiently. The fruit acids in tomatoes help keep the gallbladder healthy by helping to flush out sludge from the gallbladder and even reducing the size of gallstones. Even poorly grown tomatoes have a high mineral content. These minerals often reach the deep, inner core of the liver, helping to prevent disease there.
Cucumbers: they are allies of the liver due to their ability to hydrate it. Your liver always needs living water that is full of minerals and other nutrients because the liver keeps your blood hydrated. He relies on sources like cucumbers for this living water. This minimizes the dirty blood syndrome by helping to reduce the fats and toxins in it. The phytochemical compounds in cucumbers act as anti-inflammatory agents for the small intestine and colon. Cucumbers also have a gentle ability to thin the blood, allowing detoxification to proceed naturally, unhindered.
