What is the effect of garlic on Liver?
Garlic is a potent food with many beneficial effects for the body because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Many liver diseases such as alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, liver infection, and many other liver diseases are a result of oxidative and/or inflammatory damage. Garlic can potentially protect the liver from this damage by acting as a antioxidant and also reducing inflammation.
Some studies indicate that eating raw garlic may help decrease risk of liver cancer. Supplementing with garlic powder can help manage weight and reduce accumulation of fat in the liver which leads to fatty liver disease.
Ingestion of fresh garlic cloves have been found to have a protective effect against alcohol or acetaminophen induced liver damage in rodents. Components in garlic may also reduce the severity of fatty liver disease, at least in rodents. Epidemiological data from a population study in China reported in the journal 'Nutrients' suggests that eating raw garlic twice or more per week was associated with lower incidence of liver cancer.
According to several studies, it is found that garlic is loaded with a compound called allicin, which can cause liver toxicity if taken in large quantities. Garlic is a natural blood thinner, so we shouldn't consume large quantities of garlic along with blood-thinning medicines.
Garlic is rich in vitamin C, B, and A, and therefore contributes to the proper functioning of the liver.
Garlic is also an anti-inflammatory food, helping with hepatic steatosis.
