Did you know that your liver works tirelessly, even at night? Too frequently enough neglected, this essential organ deserves better.Dr. Joseph Salhab proposes three simple actions to adopt each morning to help it function at its best. And believe me, it’s worth it.
Start by hydrating your liver, not just your throat: the drinks that really make a difference
First reflex in the morning: drink water, yes, but not just any water. Dr. Salhab recommends going a step further with simple, but clever mixes. At the top of the list: Chia Fresca – a mixture of water, chia seeds, lemon and a few slices of cucumber. This cocktail deeply hydrates, gently restarts the digestive system, and provides the liver with fiber, magnesium and vitamin C.
Another interesting option: a watermelon-ginger juice. Watermelon provides citrulline, an amino acid that stimulates the production of nitric oxide (beneficial for blood circulation), while ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Easy to prepare, refreshing and beneficial for liver health.
Fill up on good bacteria and antioxidants as soon as you wake up with a targeted smoothie
Smoothies can become valuable allies for liver health. Dr. Salhab highlights a simple and effective combination: kefir and red fruits. The first is a natural probiotic, beneficial for the balance of the intestinal flora, while the second is rich in anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants.
