Lemon:Lemon is one of the best foods for liver cleansing. Many people like to drink lemon juice because it contains vitamin C, with a high vitamin C content of 51.7mg/100g.

The flavonoids in lemons (antioxidants) can fight degenerative brain diseases. Not only that, lemons also have the effect of cleansing the bladder, kidneys, digestive system and lungs.

Regularly adding a glass of water mixed with the juice of half a lemon to your daily diet also helps your body's digestive process go more smoothly.

You can use fresh lemon or bottled lemon juice. Note that people with stomach pain should not drink too much lemon.

Cucumber:Cucumber is one of the "golden" foods because in addition to its health benefits such as rehydration, cooling, and detoxification, it is also a cheap fruit that is useful for beauty.

Cucumbers have a lot of water (96%), very few calories (10kcal/100g), have diuretic and remineralizing properties with lots of minerals and trace elements (potassium, phosphorus, magnesium...).

Cucumbers contain special antioxidants in reasonable proportions such as β-carotene and α-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin-A, zea-xanthin and lutein.

This fruit is high in vitamin K, providing about 17 µg vitamin K/100 g. Vitamin K is important for bones as it promotes bone formation.

This vitamin has also been identified as having a role in treating patients by limiting nerve cell damage in the brain.

However, eating cucumbers incorrectly not only fails to maximize their nutritional value but also causes negative consequences.

Users should be careful not to buy fruits that are too old or yellow because they often contain a lot of insoluble fiber and hard seeds.

Also, avoid melons with wrinkled ends, as this is a sign that the melon is old and wilted. Before eating, wash the melon thoroughly under cold running water to remove dirt and pesticides. Good dosage: 150g, 1-2 times/week.

Turmeric:Turmeric is one of the spices that is beneficial for maintaining liver health. Because turmeric has the ability to digest fats and acts as a natural antibiotic to protect your liver.

Turmeric is rich in calcium and potassium, soothes digestive pain, bloating and flatulence.

Turmeric contains curcumin which can heal damage to the liver and stomach while promoting healthy growth of mucous membranes and skin.
