had another question related to a

recovering alcoholic and what would be

the best foods for that individual well

what do you have you have liver damage

maybe some inflammation maybe a fatty

liver maybe even cirrhosis

you definitely have nutritional

deficiencies so the best foods that I

would recommend starting from the top

would be cruciferous vegetables

why because cruciferous vegetables have

an added X Factor they have a lot more

phytonutrients that other vegetables

just don’t have and when we’re dealing

with repairing liver function we need a

lot of natural antioxidants from the

food because there’s so much oxidation

and free radical damage now as far as

deficiencies are concerned you’re gonna

see definitely low vitamin b1 you’re

gonna see other B vitamins deficient

definitely going to see zinc deficient a

lot of other trace minerals so for that

reason number 2 shellfish shellfish

contain all of the trace minerals very

very high in selenium and zinc and

iodine which is great for the liver and

especially the selenium both of them can

act as antioxidants now number three we

have sunflower seeds sunflower seeds are

very high in vitamin b1 which is very

very important in liver function and

definitely if the person has drank

alcohol they’re going to be deficient in

vitamin b1

but of course my favorite is nutritional

yeast you’re going to get all of the B

vitamins and nutritional yeast and

nutritional yeast provides a natural

form of course if you get the version

that’s not enriched with synthetic

vitamins but if you’re recovering

alcoholic you really need to increase

this one right here okay nutritionally a

lot of it okay next is fish and I’m

talking about wild caught fish because

of the omega-3 which is very

anti-inflammatory so it’s going to help

inflammation and provide you with some

really good quality proteins out of all

the fish you want to do the fattier fish

salmon and sardines alright number five

large salads okay

of course the salad could be cruciferous

vegetables but

sometimes people like to steam these but

I always recommend doing like raw salads

large salads that’s very very healthy

for the liver it will also provide you

with vitamin C which is a very important

antioxidant for your liver and it’s

interesting because if you go to a

restaurant I was at a restaurant a

couple days ago and I’m looking around

and like no one is ordering salads

except me and so they’re just eating the

protein fat the carbs but no salads an

average American consumes only 1.5 cups

of salad per day so where are they going

to get their vitamin C where are they

gonna get their potassium large salads

actually will help an alcoholic recover

they want to do moderate protein large

amounts of greens and generally

nutrient-dense foods now for the

inflammation that could be going on and

for the cirrhosis they need to be doing

in a minute fasting I have a video down

below exactly how to do that one to two

meals a day and make sure those meals

are big enough so they’re not hungry

between the meals so you want to do in a

minute fasting with some periodic

prolonged fasting

why so you can create this condition

called a Toph Ajit the tapa ji is like a

self-cleaning oven it’s where your body

starts to clean up the old damaged

proteins which you’re going to see in

cirrhosis and help turn those into

healthy new amino acids and that happens

roughly about an 18 hour fast so if you

were to do all mad one meal a day you

would have enough at otha ji to really

see some great great improvement but

then if you were to end on top of that

maybe every week or every two weeks a

longer fast you would really speed up

the results now

kombucha tea is a really good product if

you get the one with the lowest amounts

of sugar to act as a substitute for beer

or wine because the consistency of it is

a kind of a thick carbonated beverage

and it’s kind of similar to an alcohol

beverage where it can actually help

relax the person and make them feel

calmer so I do recommend

that and it does have a small amount of

alcohol like but it’s so insignificant

it’s not going to create a problem if

you wanted to take it the next level

these are the nutrients that I would

recommend to help someone repair liver

damage now what these nutrients do is

they increase glutathione which is the

most important antioxidant for the liver

for repair and glutathione is the thing

to actually speed up the toxic effective

alcohol like when you have a hangover so

it cleans up acetyl aldehyde which is

the byproduct of alcohol what alcohol

turns into in the liver so it cleans it

up but the problem with taking

glutathione directly sometimes is that

it gets broken down and you don’t really

get the full benefit so I recommend

taking the precursors cysteine glycine

glutamine and AC these will really help

and also vitamin C is needed to make

glutathione and also zinc as well and

zinc will also replace what you’re

deficient in as well and you can get

your B vitamins from nutritional yeast

right here and milk thistle is one of

the best herbs to support a healthy

liver in addition this alone will

increase glutathione so those are the

things I would recommend for a

recovering alcoholic so if you want more
