Pumpkin contains vitamin A important for the liver (carotenoids), phospholipids and unsaturated fatty acids omega 3-6, which are involved in the construction of the cell membrane of hepatocytes, cholesterol metabolism, the physician explained.

Turmeric also helps promote liver health. The main component of the spice curcumin is one of the strongest antioxidants, due to which it has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect on the liver.
