In today’s time, due to bad eating habits, busy life and increasing pollution, people have started becoming very cautious about their health. Taking advantage of this vigilance, today’s wellness and supplement market is doing business worth billions of rupees. These days, from social media to TV advertisements, the trend of ‘Liver Detox’ has increased very rapidly. Everyone is claiming that by drinking their magical supplements, juices or herbal teas, you can get rid of the dirt in your liver in a jiffy. But is there any scientific truth in this miraculous claim? Well-known gastroenterologists and liver experts of the country have made a shocking revelation on this subject, knowing which you will be shocked. Doctors clearly say that in the name of detox, people are not only wasting their hard-earned money, but are also unknowingly putting their health at great risk.
The liver itself is the body’s biggest natural washing machine. According to medical science, liver is such a wonderful and powerful organ within the human body that it does not require even the slightest of any kind of artificial detoxification or cleaning from outside. The primary function of the liver is to filter harmful substances, drug residues and toxins from the body and remove them through feces and urine. It keeps cleaning your body automatically 24 hours a day without stopping. Doctors say that unless there is a serious disease, the liver is capable of performing its cleaning work at its full capacity. In such a situation, the so-called detox products sold in the market are completely a marketing gimmick, which has no solid scientific basis.
Risk of liver failure instead of benefits from expensive supplements Many types of unregulated herbs and large amounts of preservatives are found in many liver detox powders, pills and decoctions available in the market. Experts have warned that indiscriminate use of these supplements without medical advice can cause serious harm to the liver instead of benefiting it. There have been several cases in medical history where patients suffered liver damage or suffered ‘drug-induced liver injury’ (DILI) due to overdose of these detox products. In simple words, the same medicines for which you are spending huge amount to clean your liver are making your liver sick and weak.
Real and natural ways to always keep the liver healthy and clean If you really want to protect your liver and keep it healthy for a long time, then you do not need any expensive product but a disciplined lifestyle. Doctors have suggested some very easy and surefire ways to keep the liver strong naturally:
Avoid alcohol: Excessive consumption of alcohol is the biggest enemy of the liver, it is the main cause of fatal diseases like fatty liver and cirrhosis.
Drink plenty of water: Drinking adequate amount of water throughout the day naturally removes toxins from the body and reduces pressure on the liver.
