6 Benefits of Liver Cleansing
Your liver is responsible for processing toxins in the body, so you’ll want to keep it working at its best. Sometimes, though, diet or lifestyle can catch up to you. If that happens, a liver cleanse becomes necessary. With a cleanse, you’ll certainly get rid of all that toxic buildup, but there are lots of other perks as well.
6 Benefits of Liver Cleansing
Many people disregard liver cleansing, but there are some benefits associated with the practice. Not only can it jump start a healthy eating pattern, but it also may also help you lose weight. Just what else can liver cleansing do for you?
1. Weight Loss
Your liver produces bile, which the digestive system uses to break down fat. Since liver cleansing promotes bile production, detoxing your liver might be just the place to start if you want to lose weight.
2. Immune System Support
Since the liver reduces toxins, among other things, it makes sense that a healthy liver is crucial to a strong immune system.[1, 2] Cleansing your liver could even give your immune system a boost.
3. Discourages Liver Stones
Liver stones form in some people because of too much cholesterol in the diet — especially in people with a genetic predisposition to liver stones and gallstones.[3] The extra cholesterol makes bile harden into tiny stones that can block the liver and gall bladder; you could even have up to 200 to 300 of these affecting your liver’s ability to detox. When you cleanse, somewhere between 100 to 300 of the stones could actually be purged from your body.
4. Supports Whole Body Detox
Since the liver removes toxins, turning them into harmless byproducts, there are usually small amounts of toxins in your liver. This is generally not a concern. Issues start, however, when there’s a buildup of toxins. That’s when you need to detox in order to get your liver working exactly as it should.
5. Boosts Energy
Some of the harmless byproducts the liver makes are actually nutrients the body will use. Whether they end up in liver stones or toxic build-up, some of those nutrients won’t make it back into the bloodstream. When that happens, your energy levels will likely drop. Liver cleansing will make you feel better because not only will you have all of your nutrients — but also all of your energy.
6. Increases Vitality
Remember that by cleansing the liver, you’re restoring it to peak efficiency. Reducing all that toxic buildup will make your skin look brighter and healthier. And since promoting bile production helps with fat breakdown, you’ll also tone your body easier and could even look and feel five years younger!
