Liver detoxification is of interest to many people, especially when pollution and unhealthy foods are negatively affecting health.

One of the popular methods that is being passed around is drinking warm water to detoxify the liver. Is this method really effective?

The liver is the main organ in the body involved in the process of metabolism and detoxification. According to the World Health Organization, the liver plays an important role in maintaining the body's balance and protecting the system from harmful elements.

However, the liver's self-detoxification mechanism can be affected by many factors such as poor nutrition, alcohol and tobacco abuse, or toxic substances in the living environment.

Scientifically, drinking warm water is said to aid digestion and promote liver function. Warm water can increase body temperature, stimulate blood circulation and help the liver work more effectively in eliminating waste. Drinking warm water in the morning can help clean the digestive tract, stimulate metabolic activities in the body, thereby indirectly supporting liver function.

Additionally, some studies have shown that warm water helps to calm the body, reduce stress, and aid digestion. Chronic stress can weaken the liver and reduce its ability to detoxify. Keeping the body in a relaxed state can improve the liver and digestive system's ability to function.

However, nutritionists recommend that drinking warm water is only a secondary factor in maintaining liver health. For a comprehensive detoxification effect, maintaining a healthy diet, minimizing alcohol and tobacco, and regular exercise are important factors. In addition, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drinking enough water, whether cold or warm, is necessary to support the process of filtering toxins through the kidneys and improve overall health.

Thus, drinking warm water may have certain benefits for liver function, but this is not the only and most effective method of liver detoxification.
