Treat your Liver
RealAge.com has this article about your Liver:
Your liver does oh so many things for your body — from filtering your blood to pumping out bile so you can digest fats.
So do something nice for your liver. Treat it to a fruit-and-yogurt parfait. People who regularly eat fruit and yogurt may have a lower risk of liver cancer than people who don’t indulge in these good-for-you treats.
Have Half a Cupful
You don’t have to go hog wild for fruit and yogurt to help your liver; even a small amount may be good. In a study, people with various medical conditions (that didn’t involve the liver) who ate just half a cup of yogurt and over 5 ounces of fruit a week (about the equivalent of a large apple) had a lower risk of liver cancer.
Good Things Inside
Researchers have yet to pinpoint why yogurt may have an impact on liver health. It could have something to do with retinol, the animal-based form of vitamin A found in yogurt, milk, and eggs. In previous studies, retinol has been linked to a reduction in the risk of liver cancer. The cell-protecting flavonoids found in abundance in fruit may be what makes them liver savers.

I’ve seen some medicines that can help in cleansing the liver. However, I think the natural means is better over medications.
