How is this recipe good for liver health?

Cooked Spinach

Supports Detoxification

Spinach is high in chlorophyll, which helps detoxify the blood, reducing the liver’s workload.

It also boosts Phase II liver detox pathways by providing antioxidants and phytonutrients that neutralise toxins.

Rich in Glutathione Precursors

Spinach contains compounds that help the liver produce glutathione, a powerful antioxidant essential for neutralising free radicals and aiding detox.

Anti-inflammatory Properties

Cooked spinach is a source of beta-carotene and lutein, which help combat liver inflammation and protect liver cells from oxidative stress.

Improved Nutrient Absorption

Cooking spinach reduces its oxalate content, increasing the absorption of essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and calcium, all of which support liver function and overall detoxification.
