      The liver is the engine room of your body. When the liver is not working optimally the metabolic process slow down and your energy levels fall. 

In this article we shall examine easy and research based ways to detoxify your liver at home. 

The liver is the largest solid organ in the body. It functions to purify the blood by removing toxins, maintain a healthy blood sugar level, and regulates blood clotting among several others. 

When not working optimally you feel weak and have low energy levels. 

Unlike your kidneys you only have one liver. However your liver has the remarkable ability to repair and regenerate itself after damage given the right conditions.

Let's examine the conditions under which your liver can rebuild itself.

1. Stop drinking alcohol completely.

2. Quit smoking as soon as possible.

3. Eat liver-cleansing foods such as Garlic, Turmeric, Nuts, like walnuts

4. Fruits like grapefruit, beetroot, apples, broccoli, avocado and lemon.
