Liver Health: Superfoods to cure and prevent Jaundice

Jaisal Kaur

Jaundice is a buildup of bilirubin, which is a yellow pigment released during the breakdown of red blood cells. 

The liver filters bilirubin, so jaundice hints that the liver is not functioning correctly.

Fruits and vegetables: Fresh fruits and vegetables are full of vital nutrients, antioxidants and phytonutrients that detoxify the liver.

Fiber: Eat a high-fibre diet to support liver function, like almonds, avocados, berries, broccoli, seeds and more.

Lean Protein: Eat plant-based proteins such as nuts, seeds and soy products, and animal proteins like skinned chicken, fish, eggs and lean meat.

Dietary Supplements: A multivitamin supplement may satiate your daily needs of vitamins and minerals to improve liver function. 

Water: Hydration helps the liver to function properly and avert dehydration.

Coffee/ Tea: Tea and Coffee protects the liver from harmful pathogens and toxins.
