On TikTok, Dr. Joseph Salhab, an American gastroenterologist, explains how to take care of your liver first thing in the morning. Indeed, during this end-of-year holiday season, excess fat, alcohol and sugar damage this organ whose purpose is to filter toxins from the foods we consume.
Dr Joseph Salhab therefore offers several alternatives to coffee. The first is green tea, which contains “a high amount of antioxidants and flavonoids called catechins,” according to the gastroenterologist. These molecules protect the liver from inflammation due to an accumulation of fat in the body.
This Japanese tea made from powdered tea tree leaves mixed with boiling water is also a source of antioxidants. “It’s a lot like green tea, but it’s more concentrated.”
To stock up on fruits, vegetables and therefore fiber and vitamins, the smoothie is recommended by the professional. He recommends favoring green vegetables, such as kale, spinach or broccoli, and red fruits such as berries, all very rich in antioxidants. Commenting on his video, he adds that beets, apples and fresh ginger are also beneficial for the liver.
