The liver’s primary function is to filter blood: it cleanses the red blood cells, eliminates waste products, and helps us digest fats. The liver is also responsible for catching toxins that end up in our bodies when we eat, smoke, or take medication.
Cleansing your liver (also known as liver detox) aids its excretory function and gives it a necessary boost to store vitamins (A, D, K, E) that our body needs.
Let’s look at the natural and organic juice-based drinks that can be consumed in the evening before going to bed.
1 – STRAWBERRY WATER
Prepare this delicious detox drink to cleanse the liver. Cut 500 g of strawberries and mix with 1.5 l of water in a bottle. Then, refrigerate the mixture overnight before consuming your drink. To eliminate toxins from the liver, it is necessary to promote the intake of antioxidant nutrients like Vitamin C.
Indeed, strawberries are rich in Vitamin C, which neutralizes free radicals and breaks down toxins in the body. Additionally, strawberries contain natural acids that help lower blood sugar levels and detoxify the liver.
2 – GINGER TEA
Ginger has been researched for its effectiveness in weight loss. In a randomized meta-analysis, it was found that this ingredient would significantly reduce body weight by promoting fat burning.
To prepare it, grate a ginger root, which you add to a large glass, and pour hot water over it. Let it cool, then add the juice of half a lemon and a spoonful of honey to the infusion to soften the taste if you feel the need.
3 – TURMERIC AND LEMON DRINK
Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. To prepare this liver detox drink, mix the juice of half a lemon, a teaspoon of turmeric powder, and a glass of warm water. This combination helps stimulate the liver’s detoxifying process while supporting digestion.
4 – GREEN TEA AND MINT INFUSION
Green tea is another powerful antioxidant that aids liver function. Brew a cup of green tea and add a few fresh mint leaves for an added digestive benefit. Mint helps soothe the stomach and enhances the detoxifying properties of green tea. This drink is best consumed in the evening for its calming and liver-cleansing effects.
