Diet tips: This gut doctor swears by 3 vegetables to keep his liver healthy

 

The liver works overtime: breaks down toxins, balances hormones and filters alcohol and medicines. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) dietary guidelines, vegetables, especially cruciferous and root varieties, play a vital role in reducing oxidative stress and improving organ function. A healthy liver not only helps prevent disease but also supports better digestion, skin clarity, and energy levels.

So, if your liver could talk, it would probably ask for more cruciferous vegetables. Known for their detox-supporting compounds, these humble greens and roots have now got a doctor’s approval. In a recent Instagram reel (video), Florida-based gastroenterologist Dr Joseph Salhab shared that he eats three vegetables regularly to keep his liver in top shape.
