The nice side effect:

Even those who notice physical symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain on the right side and fatigue, do not go wrong with a liver detoxification.

However, if these symptoms persist and you experience fever and weight loss, you should see a doctor.

Breaking down alcohol to storing fat: functions of the liver

The liver converts toxic breakdown products in the body into harmless substances - such as toxic ammonia into urea, which we excrete in the urine.

Alcohol also migrates to the liver, which can break down around one gram of ethanol per ten kilograms of body weight, reports the specialist portal for internists online.

The most important tasks of the liver at a glance:

• The organ forms glucose, ketone bodies, endogenous cholesterol (from which bile acid is produced, which makes fats in food digestible) and proteins in the blood,

• it stores glucose, fat and vitamins,

• filters pathogens from the blood and

• breaks down the following toxins or waste products: damaged blood cells, alcohol, medication, ammonia and steroid hormones.
