What is the suggested eating strategy for raw endive to maximize its liver-supporting bile production benefit?

Eating it as a starter to a meal

When the dietary goal is specifically targeted toward enhancing liver function via bile stimulation, the timing of endive consumption becomes an important consideration. The most effective strategy suggested is to consume bitter foods, such as endive, not as a secondary element, but as a prelude or starter immediately preceding the main course. This timing ensures that the digestive juices, particularly the stimulated bile triggered by the bitterness, are immediately available when the subsequent foods requiring digestion enter the system. This sequence guarantees that the bitter compounds initiate their regulatory function right at the commencement of the digestive process, maximizing the benefit for outflow and waste management.
