The liver is the most important organ in our body besides the heart. It doesn't get enough credit that it's due. Its job is to filter and break down what we put in our bodies while producing bile and glucose that we need to stay healthy. When we pollute ourselves with processed foods, toxins, and chemicals, our liver suffers and becomes taxed. It's important to cleanse our liver from time to time with healthy herbs, fruits, and vegetables. These juice recipes will help naturally cleanse your liver and help its detox function and protect against oxidative stress. 

Liver Cleansing Beet Juice

Beets are one of the best vegetables you can eat to cleanse the liver and blood. They quickly help break down toxins and boost enzymatic activity. They are rich in vitamin C, potassium, iron, and fiber. They reduce blood pressure, treat inflammation, detoxify the liver, and improve blood flow.
