1. What are the functions of the liver?

As the experts from the Catalan Association of Liver Patients explain, the liver is an organ that performs various functions, from purifying substances to metabolizing vitamins and proteins. It is also responsible for processing food and converting it into energy so that you can carry out all your activities.

Among other things, a poor diet can harm liver health. Therefore, it is important to try to eat a diet according to the needs of the body. The moment the liver fails, the body begins to experience a series of discomforts and then, general health is affected.

Some of the symptoms related to liver diseases are: feeling full, bad breath (halitosis), the acquisition of a yellowish tone in the face, inflammation or change in the color of urine or stool. If this occurs, it is very important to see a doctor right away for an early checkup, diagnosis and treatment.

When the doctor diagnoses a disease in the liver, the patient must not only try to follow the indications regarding pharmacological treatment, he must also try to improve his lifestyle, and in this sense, diet again acquires great importance.

Although there are no foods that can “protect” or “heal” the liver, there are many foods that, within a balanced diet, can provide multiple benefits to the body. This is because they contain various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, among other nutrients.

2. Foods that help to have a healthy liver

The revitalizing salad for the liver is one of the recipes that you can include in your weekly menu to maintain variety and balance in a healthy diet. It is made with ingredients that have a certain sweet taste (such as cooked carrots), so if you like these flavors, you can enjoy a delicious dish.

Remember that this (and any other) salad are simply complementary dishes. Therefore, you should not base your diet solely on its consumption. Incorporate other dishes into your different meals and satisfy your appetite. Do not deprive yourself of having at least 3 good meals a day.

Remember to accompany it with other foods (a toast of bread with goat cheese, for example) or a piece of fresh fruit to satisfy your appetite properly and not leave you hungry.
