"The liver is the organ in the body that is responsible for eliminating toxins," Rose said. "Toxins build up as a result of chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis." External toxins include what we eat and drink, even the juices you down while on a cleanse. "A juice cleanse does not eliminate toxins because they add a source of toxins to the body since it has to metabolise juices as well," she explained. What can help eliminate toxins from the body is making sure the liver stays healthy enough to effectively do its job, which can be done in part by making sure you're drinking enough water and staying hydrated.
