About Liver Cleansing Detox

Liver cleaning or detox is a way to remove harmful materials from the liver so it can function more effectively. The liver itself is a filtering system that removes and filters out poisons and toxins that accumulate in the body from food, air and water. Detoxification of the liver promotes health throughout the body.

Fluids

• The easiest way to clean the liver is by drinking more water each day. The liquids help to flush away internal debris from all the cells and tissues of the body and also help in diluting toxins.

Fast

• During a fast, the body uses its energy for healing and cleaning all the organs, including the liver. With no food in the system, the body doesn't have to use energy to digest food.

Organic Foods

• Eating healthier foods is a great way to detox the body so the liver has less work to do. Organic foods have fewer chemicals that can harm the body and that the liver has to remove.

Herbs

• There are a few herbs that are popular in cleaning the liver. Milk thistle is the best-known folk remedy. Other useful herbs are burdock root and dandelion.

Exercise

• The liver processes fats. Toxins are also mostly stored in the fat cells. Aerobic exercise burns the fat so there are fewer harmful substances that the liver has to filter out.
