It's that time of year when we may be eating a bit less clean and our alcohol intake may go out. Let's be sure to take care of our liver. The kidneys and liver are used for detoxing our body on a daily basis. Here are some foods to help our body with the detox process, not just through the holidays, but all year long.

Leafy greens: high in chlorophyll and soak up a lot of toxins from your bloodstream. Packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber. Think spinach, cabbage, kale, radicchio, and swiss chard.

Cruciferous vegetables: a major source of glutathione which triggers cleansing enzymes that help flush out carcinogens and other toxic compounds. Think, broccoli, brussel sprouts and cauliflower.

Fatty fish: research says the Omega-3 fatty acids prevent the buildup of excess fats and maintain enzyme levels in the liver. Think fresh tuna, anchovies, sardines and mackerel.

Raw nuts: good for the gut in so many ways. Eating nuts improve liver enzymes. The top 2: walnuts and almonds.

Fruits and berries: good for the gut and stimulate the liver. Think apples, avocados, blackberries, blueberries and all citrus fruits.

Olive oil: an oil that reduces fat accumulating in the liver and provides improved insulin sensitivity. Best for health is olive oil in glass bottles and smaller size bottles. Olive oil can go rancid.

Garlic: is packed with selenium which activates liver detox enzymes.

Turmeric: has Curcumin as an active ingredient which flushes out toxins and repairs liver cells.
