5 Nighttime Drinks To Cleanse Your Liver While You Sleep and Helps you Burn Fat

The function of the liver is of high importance for our overall health since it removes the accumulated waste and toxins from the body. It is the heaviest and one of the largest organs in the human body.

The liver is the chemical processing plant of the body, and it receives 30% of the blood circulating in the system every minute,  performing chemical reactions to eliminate harmful toxins and distribute and store essential nutrients.

This process is known as the ‘metabolism’ and the liver cells, called hepatocytes, work to keep the body working at its best.

As soon as we digest food, nutrients enter the blood, which go directly to the liver for processing, and depending on the levels of nutrients, liver cells will either release the goodness in the areas where it is needed, or store it for when the body needs a boost.

Sometimes, its function can be disrupted due to poor dietary habits, environmental toxins, and more.  Yet the following 5 nighttime detox drinks will cleanse the liver, boost its function, and help you lose extra weight.

The Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver functions at its best between 1 am and 3 am, so make sure you drink these beverages before going to sleep:
