In daily life, some people have sunken nails or runny lines on the nail surface. According to traditional medicine, these changes may be related to the condition of the liver. The liver is also believed to be related to emotions. When liver function declines, the body may experience symptoms such as stress, irritability, or mood swings.
Some beliefs also suggest that acne on the face may be related to liver function and the body's metabolism. However, acne condition also depends on many other factors such as endocrine system, diet, skin care and environment.
Sleep also plays an important role for health. Instead of thinking that the liver only "detoxifies" for about 1-2 hours in the morning, you should maintain regular and sufficient sleep every day so that the body has conditions to recover and perform normal metabolic functions.
In the diet, you should increase green vegetables, fruits and fiber-rich foods to provide vitamins, minerals and support overall health. You should not arbitrarily use lemon or orange juice with the peel for the purpose of "detoxification", because fruit peels can contain essential oils and chemical residues if not cleaned properly.
Goji berries are often used in some traditional dishes, tea and remedies. This fruit provides some antioxidants, but there is no strong enough evidence to confirm that goji berries have the ability to detoxify or increase liver resistance. Therefore, if used, it should be used in moderation and considered part of a diverse diet, instead of being considered as a liver detoxification method.
To protect the liver, more important than detoxification methods is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, limit alcohol, eat balanced meals, exercise regularly and get enough sleep. When prolonged abnormal changes appear in fingernails, skin or body, you should see a doctor to determine the cause instead of applying unverified detoxification methods yourself.
