Pumpkin is loaded with nutrients that our livers can easily store. High in carotenoids that protect liver cells from damage, the glucose in pumpkin can stabilize the liver, allowing blood sugar to stabilize overall in the body. Pumpkin is a rich source of B-vitamins such as niacin, thiamin, and pantothenic acid and minerals like calcium, potassium, and phosphorus. It is an excellent food for aiding weight loss and for reducing cholesterol. 

The high amount of phytonutrients in pumpkin have been shown to help prevent the risk of cancers, particularly mouth, lung, and colon cancer. It also contains immune-boosting properties which can help the body stay strong and ward off common colds and flus that may be going around. Pumpkin is excellent way to replenish and restore the body after a workout as it is high in potassium which helps to restore the body’s balance of electrolytes after exercise and keeps muscles functioning at their best.

Bananas provide quick fuel to the liver and wakes up sleepy cells, increasing their ingenuity and work output. Bananas also soothe the linings of the intestinal tract and the nerves attached to the intestinal tract. Contrary to popular belief, bananas are one of the most antibacterial, anti-yeast, antifungal foods. A great food to combine with other nutrient-rich foods or to take with supplements, because they improve the liver’s ability to absorb nutrients.
