Drinking a lot of beer and alcohol during Tet, how to detoxify the liver?
During Tet, the habit of drinking too much alcohol can increase the risk of liver damage. Below are the best foods to help cleanse the liver, eliminating the risk of liver damage according to advice from the Ministry of Health.
The liver is an important metabolic organ that helps remove toxins from the body and helps digest beneficial nutrients. In addition, the liver cleans the blood and removes contaminants from the blood before it flows throughout the organs.
According to research, immediately after being absorbed into the blood, the body begins to excrete alcohol and beer. A small part is excreted through sweat, urine, and breath, the remaining 90% will be metabolized in the liver. Liver cells have an enzyme system that is responsible for converting alcohol in wine into CO2 and water, which is then excreted from the body. However, the liver can only process a certain amount of alcohol per hour.
