What detox does to your body...
Consider your body as a machine,what you do with a machine...well ,you oil it ,you keep it clean to improve its function and to keep it in a good state for a longer time.
Thats exactly what detox do.It removes away all the toxins that are accumulating or were present previously giving your body a new,healthy,clean version of itself that is able to work better and to absorb nutrients better.
Role of Liver in detox.
Liver has many important functions in our body and one of these is Detoxification.But if any thing interrupts the function of liver such as any disease,then detox effect is decreased.
Let me explain it a bit more so you can get a thorough idea of what we are talking about
Liver receives blood from two sources..
1- From heart through hepatic artery
2- From intestine and some GIT through hepatic portal vein.
Whatever we eat,all the proteins,carbohydrates,fats,minerals and vitamins that are absorbed from intestines goes into the blood and then through Portal vein in the liver.
The liver keeps a close eye for any toxins in the blood reaching liver and removes these toxins.Now if the liver is not working well or the liver function is lost due to cirrhosis (scarring or fibrosis of liver) or any other liver disease the removal of toxins become difficult that also affects the absorption of minerals,vitamins from GIT.
For proper weight loss its very essential that your body is absorbing all important nutrients that it needs to work and lose weight in a healthy way.
