Including specific veggies in your diet can help improve liver health. In an Instagram video he posted on July 17, gastroenterologist Dr. Joseph Salhab praised broccoli highly. He claimed it has ingredients that aid in liver detoxification. According to him, beetroots even aid in liver detoxification and may help lower liver inflammation.

The last of the three items that Dr. Salhab consumes for liver health, as a liver physician, may come as a surprise to you, as stated in the blog titled "3 things I eat as a doctor for liver health."

Here are some veggies that he says are good for liver health:

1. Broccoli

“So the first is broccoli; it supports the liver's detox ability and that is because broccoli contains something called sulforaphane. It increases the enzymes that support liver's detoxification abilities,” he said. If you don't like broccoli, ‘you can probably get the same benefits’ from some of the other cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, kale and Brussels sprouts, Dr Salhab added.

2. Beetroot

“They contain something called betalains, and they are what give beetroot its reddish-purplish colour. Betalains reduce oxidative stress within the liver and allow it to heal,” he said.

3. Artichokes

“The last one – artichokes. We have some good evidence that artichokes are one of the best liver health foods and that is because they have something called cynarine, which is a powerful antioxidant for the liver. So with artichokes, I like to make a spread and put it on some sourdough bread. It is the perfect lunch,” he added.
