The liver is an important detoxification organ of the human body. When there is a problem with the liver’s detoxification function, people get tired easily, feel nauseous, and even have memory loss. There are four beneficial habits that can be cultivated in daily life to help the liver maintain an excellent metabolic detoxification function.

The liver is like a “processing plant” for the human body. The mitochondria of liver cells have a family of enzymes, a large group of enzymes called “cytochrome P450.” They are the “processing machines” in the processing plant, and there are more than 50 types of them. Cytochrome P450s are responsible for processing a variety of “materials,” including toxins and nutrients that enter the liver. These metabolic products are then “labeled” and are either secreted by the liver cells into the bile and then excreted in the feces or filtered by the kidneys into the urine and excreted out of the body.
