However, according to international experts, the evening time frame is of particular significance to the recovery and detoxification process of these two organs.
Drink enough water, at the right time
According to Dr. David Goldfarb, nephrology expert at NYU Langone Health (USA), gentle water supplementation in the evening helps the kidneys maintain a stable blood filtration process and limit the risk of urine congestion. "A moderate amount of water 1-2 hours before bed helps the kidneys work more efficiently, but it is necessary to avoid drinking too much close to bedtime to avoid interrupting sleep," he recommends.
Water also contributes to supporting the liver to eliminate metabolic products through bile and the excretory system.
Light dinner, avoid fat and alcohol
The liver enters a stage of strong detoxification during sleep. Professor Frank Hu, a nutritionist at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, believes that a dinner high in saturated fat, refined sugar or alcohol will "add a metabolic burden to the liver at the right time when this organ needs to rest.
Experts recommend that dinner should be simple, prioritizing green vegetables, whole grains, and easily digestible protein, helping the liver and kidneys focus on the recovery process instead of processing excess energy.
Get up early, get enough sleep
Many studies show that the liver is active between 11 pm and 3 am. Dr. Matthew Walker, a sleep science expert at the University of California, Berkeley, emphasized: "Lack of sleep or late sleep disrupts the circadian rhythm, directly affecting the liver's detoxification and cell repair process.
Quality sleep also helps stabilize blood pressure and hormones, which are important factors to protect long-term kidney function.
According to experts, there are no rapid detoxification measures, but maintaining simple habits in the evening is a sustainable way for the liver and kidneys to function effectively, reducing the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases in the future.
