*Eat plenty of liver-rebuilding foods, including: carrots, beets, leafy greens, and other green vegetables.
* [[Lecithin]] seems to reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver of people who are being fed long-term through a needle in the vein (parenteral nutrition).
* [[Choline]] : Not getting enough choline may harm your liver.
* [[Milk Thistle]] may protect the liver against toxicity from acetaminophen (Tylenol), alcohol and other drugs. In Europe, milk thistle is reportedly administered to patients when they are given medications known to cause liver problems.
* [[Dandelion]] : The Australian Journal of Medical Herbalism cited two studies that showed the liver regenerative properties of dandelion in cases of jaundice, liver swelling, hepatitis, and indigestion.
* Globe [[Artichoke ]] contains compounds called caffeylquinic acids which have demonstrated powerful liver regenerating effects similar to milk thistle.
*[[Turmeric]] helps regenerate liver cells and cleanse it of toxins. Turmeric also increases the production of bile to help expel toxins and may help reduce liver inflammation. In studies turmeric has also been shown to increase levels of two liver-supporting enzymes that promote Phase 2 liver detoxification reactions.
*[[Walnut]] is recommended for patients with liver ailments (Liver Diseases).
