Juices from vegetables and fruits can provide large amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, helping to support metabolism and enhance overall health.

However, there is no clear medical evidence proving that drinking juice will help “detox” the body. Detoxification is not the function of juicing, but of the liver and kidneys.

Specifically, the liver is the main organ in detoxification, converting toxic substances into less toxic forms or easily eliminated through the bile or kidneys. The kidneys filter the blood and remove waste, excess substances and toxins through urine. The lungs help eliminate toxic gases such as CO2 through the respiratory process. Sweat glands in the skin help eliminate some toxins through sweat. The skin is also involved in the process of eliminating excess substances. The intestinal tract helps eliminate waste products. The liver produces bile, which contains toxins that are excreted and excreted in the stool.

Drinking too much juice, especially fruit juice with natural sugar (fructose), can lead to hyperglycemia, increasing the risk of diabetes and obesity.

In addition, in some cases replacing main meals with juice can cause a deficiency of protein, fiber and some other essential nutrients, seriously affecting long-term health.

In short, body detoxification depends mainly on the internal organs, and they function naturally without intervention from the products or methods mentioned above.
