Liver Specialist Debunks Detox Myths

Every January, many people try detoxes like juice cleanses or detox teas to 'reset' their bodies.

But the truth is, your body already has a built-in detox system called the liver, which works with your kidneys and gut to clean out harmful substances.

A liver specialist explains that most healthy people don't need these detoxes, and some can even be harmful.

The liver continuously breaks down chemicals and removes waste through urine and faeces.

Drinking too much alcohol, especially in binges, can overwhelm the liver and cause damage.

While some detox products might make you feel better temporarily, they often don't actually cleanse the liver.

In fact, some supplements can cause liver damage.

The best way to support your liver is to drink alcohol in moderation, eat a healthy diet, stay hydrated, and give your liver time to recover.

So, this January, skip the detox gimmicks and focus on healthy habits instead.
