This broccoli & zoodle (zucchini noodles) slaw is high in antioxidants and cruciferous vegetables making it great for liver support.
Cabbage: Eating cabbage stimulates liver detoxifying enzymes that help flush out toxins.
Broccoli: Broccoli is a good source of glucosinolate, which supports enzyme production in the liver. These natural enzymes flush carcinogens and other toxins from the body, and may significantly lower risks associated with cancer.
Garlic: Just a small amount can activate liver enzymes that help your body flush out toxins. Garlic also holds high amounts of allicin and selenium, two natural compounds that aid in liver cleansing.
