Tips & Warnings
Drink plenty of water during this whole cleansing process to flush the toxins out of your system. Continue to drink plenty of fluids each day, such as water, green tea and herbal tea. Use a household water filter to purify your water. This will support other organs such as the kidneys and skin in the elimination of toxins from the body and help to keep the liver from being overloaded. In order to maintain a healthy liver for the long term, you should eat liver-friendly foods and avoid high fat and high cholesterol foods as well as drugs and alcohol. Liver-friendly foods consist of raw juices and raw fruits and vegetables. Those who are serious about maintaining a healthy liver should have raw vegetable and fruit juice every day and a large helping of raw fruits and vegetables at each meal.
You may have trouble sleeping the first night of the liver cleanse.
