How beetroot supports your liver after alcohol & rich foods
1. Helps the liver process alcohol by-products
Alcohol metabolism creates toxic compounds (like acetaldehyde) and free radicals.
• Beetroot’s betalains act as antioxidants
• They help neutralize oxidative stress and protect liver cells from damage
Benefit: Less liver strain and faster recovery after drinking

2. Supports fat breakdown in the liver
Holiday eating often leads to temporary fat accumulation in the liver.
• Beetroot contains betaine, which:
• Helps move fat out of liver cells
• Supports normal liver enzyme activity
Benefit: Reduces fatty build-up caused by rich, high-fat meals
⸻
3. Encourages bile production
Alcohol and fatty foods can slow bile flow.
• Beetroot gently stimulates bile production
• Bile helps digest fats and eliminate waste the liver has already processed
Benefit: Better digestion, less bloating, more efficient toxin elimination

4. Reduces inflammation from indulgence
Alcohol inflames liver tissue and the gut.
• Beetroot’s anti-inflammatory compounds help calm this response
Benefit: Supports healing and reduces liver stress

5. Improves circulation and oxygen delivery
Beetroot is rich in natural nitrates, which improve blood flow.
• Better circulation means the liver receives more oxygen and nutrients
Benefit: Enhanced liver regeneration and overall energy levels
