Green tea
The first drink mentioned by the doctor is green tea. And why that ? Because this tea, produced in China, contains ‘a high amount of antioxidants and flavonoids called catechins explains Dr Salhab. These catechins help protect the liver, in particular against fatty liver disease, better known as fatty liver disease or NASH, a serious inflammation of the liver due to an accumulation of fat in the body. Swapping your cappuccino for green tea would therefore be a good option.
Matcha tea
Another “health” tea favored by our doctor, Japanese matcha tea, whose leaves are reduced to powder and diluted in boiling water, would be perfect in the morning. Very popular on networks and in online recipes, matcha tea is not only beautiful. It is also excellent for its antioxidant properties. ‘It’s very similar to green tea, but it’s very concentrated because it’s made from a different type of green tea that may contain more antioxidants than the standard green tea brew. specifies the gastroenterologist. Also drink without moderation: matcha tea, like green tea, contains less caffeine than coffee.
NO to diets, YES to WW!
Le smoothie
It is not a hot drink, but it is no less interesting for breakfast: the smoothie, made from mixed fruits and vegetables, can have an impact on liver health depending on the products. chosen to design it. Dr. Joseph Salhab recommends turning to green leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, broccoli as well as red fruits, which are very rich in antioxidants. Note also that a smoothie will provide you with vitamins, without a trace of caffeine.
