The liver plays a very significant role in weight loss, it is also very important to regularly cleanse your liver whether you are trying to lose weight or not. The liver and kidney act like machines in your body that work every single day and do not get a break (except you are asleep, or fasting). It is normal for machines to get exhausted and breakdown, right? The same thing could happen to your kidney and liver if you do not service or maintain (detoxify) them regularly. These machines from time to time need maintenance and some cleansing, the reason for detoxification.
