So, a lot of people out there are always wondering if they should do a cleanse to get rid of toxins in their body.
However, detoxes and cleanses are often expensive and ineffective because they don't understand how our liver works.
Our liver extracts nutrients from food, drinks, and medicine. Those nutrients are either used to do important things in our body (like cholesterol and protein), or they're removed as waste through the bile or kidneys.
But what about those popular cleanses, like the one with cayenne pepper and lemon juice?
You drink that stuff, it gets digested, and the nutrients get absorbed into the bloodstream and the liver processes them the same way it does everything else.
So, let's be real, mixing cayenne and lemon juice isn't magical.At best, you might lose a few pounds from cutting out some calories, but at worst, you could totally throw off your electrolyte balance and disrupt your intestinal flora and bowel function.
