The liver processed this blood and breaks down, balances, and creates the nutrients and also metabolizes drugs into forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body that are non-toxic.

One of the things that can render the liver unhealthy (which can be dangerous to the other parts of the body) is the type of food consumed. Foods play a vital role in a man’s health, hence, they should never be neglected.
According to WebMD, too much redefined sugar and high-fructose corn syrup causes a fatty buildup that can lead to liver disease. Some studies show that sugar can be as damaging to the liver as alcohol, even if you’re not overweight. It’s one more reason to limit foods with added sugars, such as soda, pastries, and candy.
French fries and burgers are a poor choice to keep your liver healthy. Eat too many foods that are high in saturated fats and can make it harder for your liver to do its job.
Over time, it may lead to inflammation, which in turn could cause scarring of the liver that’s known as cirrhosis.
Thus, below are six (6) types of foods you should avoid to keep your liver healthy:
1. Added salt
2. White bread, rice, and pastries
3. Fried foods
4. Alcohol
5. Red meat
6. Added sugar – stay away from sugary foods such as candy, cookies, sodas, and fruit juices.
