Aug 26, 2024

The liver is the largest detoxifying organ in the human body, which converts food into useful substances for absorption, but certain toxins in the food may remain.

The liver produces bile and stores it in the gallbladder. It is only released from the gallbladder when it is needed to break down fat. There is an idiom called "liver and gallbladder complement each other", which aptly indicates the close relationship between the liver and gallbladder. It can be said that the two are closely cooperating "comrades in arms".

In addition, the liver can also filter and store blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this process takes place from 11 pm to 3 am. Therefore, if you want the liver to exert its maximum detoxification effect, it is best to go to bed before 11 pm. And if you neglect the sleep phase, the next day it will cause stagnation of "qi", physical fatigue and weakness, and still a lot of pressure.

For exercise, the liver can filter and guide blood during exercise, nourishing muscles. If the liver has problems purifying and renewing blood function, it is likely to cause stiffness and paralysis in the body. So, when doing exercise detoxification, do not overexert yourself and make your body tired.

The Two Stages of Liver Detoxification Process

Phase 1

The liver relies on enzymes to neutralize toxins and convert other substances into water-soluble forms. This allows the kidneys to eliminate waste from the body. If the reaction cannot be fully processed, it will become a 'reaction intermediate'.

Phase 2

Enzymes in the liver attach chemicals to "reaction intermediates" to facilitate their excretion into the urethra and bile. If obstacles occur at this stage, the intermediates cannot be eliminated from the body, causing harm to the body.

It can be said that as long as there is an imbalance in the above two stages, reactants will remain in the body, increasing the damage of free radicals to the body and causing physical discomfort such as nausea, fatigue, headaches, and other symptoms.
