Instructions:
- Steam the base vegetables until just tender (about 5–7 minutes) to keep enzymes active.

Quick Tips for Success
- Hydration is Key: Drink at least 2–3 liters of water daily to help the liver flush out toxins.
- Bitter is Better: The bitter compounds in greens like arugula, mustard greens, and dandelion leaves are specifically beneficial for bile production.
- Fresh Over Processed: Always choose whole, “humanized” foods over packaged items to avoid hidden sugars and preservatives.
