A specialist in digestion and nutrition has shared seven foods that can help rev up your metabolism by supporting your liver. These fruits and vegetables help the liver process fats and sugars more efficiently.
A top pick for metabolism is raspberries. The expert states they are rich in fiber and anthocyanins, which “help regulate blood sugar levels and improve the body’s ability to process fats after meals.”
Another key recommendation is apples paired with cinnamon. This duo provides soluble fiber (pectin) from the apples and compounds from the cinnamon that are studied for “supporting insulin sensitivity and healthier lipid levels.”
Beetroot is also highlighted for its metabolic role. It contains betaine, a nutrient the doctor notes “helps the liver process and move fat out of liver cells,” which is crucial for efficient fat metabolism.
The other foods on the list provide essential support. Cranberries (for the gut-liver axis), watermelon with lime (for blood flow), pomegranates (for inflammation), and strawberries with dark chocolate (for blood vessel health) all contribute to a high-functioning liver.
