homemade liver cleanse juice - #20731

Kiaan

I am feeling really frustrated lately. A few weeks ago, I started to notice some weird symptoms like fatigue and occasional bloating, and it kinda freaked me out, so I did some reading and came across this homemade liver cleanse juice that everyone seems to rave about online. I tried making it with beets, carrots, and some lemon, but I can’t tell if it actually helps. Like, can homemade liver cleanse juice really flush out toxins or whatever? Or am I just wasting my time and ingredients here? My friend tried it and said they felt great after a few days, but I'm not sure if that’s just in their head. I mean, I’ve been incorporating this homemade liver cleanse juice into my routine for about a week now, but honestly, I feel the same if not worse some days. I am just wondering if there's a specific way to do the whole liver cleanse juice thing or if it can even help with overall liver health? Did I do something wrong? Like, what if homemade liver cleanse juice is just a gimmick, or would doctors even recommend it? Has anyone had results from it that felt significant? Sharing some insights would be super helpful!

Doctors' responses

When it comes to “liver cleanse” juices, it’s important to approach with some skepticism. The concept of detoxifying or cleansing your liver with certain foods or juices isn’t strongly supported by scientific evidence. Your liver naturally acts as a detoxifying organ, processing toxins and waste efficiently on its own without needing a special juice regimen. Drinking a juice with beets, carrots, and lemon can be nutritious and might offer vitamins and antioxidants, but it’s unlikely to have a detoxifying effect beyond what your liver already does.

Fatigue and bloating could be linked to various factors such as diet, stress, hydration, or underlying medical conditions. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to talk to a healthcare professional to investigate further. They can help identify any underlying issues and offer guidance based on your overall health context. If your symptoms are affecting your daily life, it might be helpful to keep track of them and see if there are any patterns or triggers.

In terms of liver health, focusing on a balanced diet, staying hydrated, avoiding excessive alcohol intake, and exercising regularly can be more beneficial and evidence-based than relying on a juice for cleansing. If you enjoy the taste of the juice and it fits into a balanced diet, it probably won’t do any harm, but depending on it for liver detox isn’t necessary or proven. Always consider discussing any new dietary regimen or persisting symptoms with a healthcare provider to ensure your approach is safe and appropriate for you. Remember, self-diagnosis and treatment might delay addressing a potentially serious condition.
