Harvard doctor shares 4 best options for snacks that people can have everyday without damaging liver and gut health

Vitamin C and dark chocolate might sound like an odd mix, but it’s a deliberate pairing in Dr Sethi’s snack routine.

Many don’t know this—almonds and pistachios contain a good dose of vitamin C, especially when raw. Pair that with 70% (or higher) dark chocolate, and there’s a subtle synergy. The antioxidants in the chocolate enhance the absorption of nutrients from the nuts. At the same time, flavonoids in the chocolate support liver detox pathways.

This combo does more than boost energy—it reduces oxidative stress, which is often the root of slow digestion, bloating, and liver congestion.
