The liver, a vital organ and gland, plays a key role in blood filtering and chemical production. Gastroenterologist Dr. Joseph Salhab, known as The Stomach Doc on Instagram, shared a video on May 1 recommending specific food combinations to support liver health.
1) Lime plus watermelon
High in citrulline, antioxidants, and vitamin C, helping the liver manage oxidative stress and maintain healthy blood flow.
2) Sourdough plus avocado
Combines gut-friendly fermentation and healthy fats, improving the way the liver handles sugar and stores fat.
3) Kimchi plus sweet potato
Pairs probiotics and resistant starch to strengthen the gut-liver connection and lower the risk of fat buildup in the liver.
4) Walnuts plus almonds
Packed with omega-3 fats and vitamin E, both proven to lower liver fat and protect liver cells from oxidative damage.
5) Dark chocolate plus berries
A powerful source of flavonoids that help the liver resist scarring and maintain healthy blood vessels.
6) Kiwi plus Greek yogurt
Boosts vitamin C, potassium, and probiotics, all critical for keeping liver metabolism and energy production running strong.
7) Apples plus cinnamon
Apples are packed with fibre and antioxidants shown to protect against liver fat buildup, while cinnamon provides anti-inflammatory compounds that support liver resilience.
