liver cleansing - #19162

Anya

I am really confused about this whole liver cleansing thing. A few months ago, I started feeling super sluggish and my digestion was all over the place. I mean, I was bloated all the time and just felt kinda off, you know? A friend mentioned liver cleansing, and honestly, I thought it was just some trendy detox stuff. But then I started reading about it and now I’m kinda obsessed. I've been trying this juice cleanse for a week now, with beets and greens and all that. I've noticed some changes, like my skin looks clearer and I'm feeling a bit less bloated, but I have no clue if liver cleansing is actually doing anything beneficial or if it's just in my head. I did get some blood work done to check liver enzymes before starting, which were normal, thank God, but I’m wondering if that means liver cleansing is necessary at all. Does liver cleansing really work, or is it just a temporary fix? Also, is it okay to keep doing these cleanses frequently or should I take a break? I've heard such mixed things online and I’m feeling totally lost. What do you all think about liver cleansing in general, especially if there are no obvious problems with the liver?
