Don't stress too much about 'detoxing' your liver with special drinks! Your body already does a fantastic job of cleaning itself every single day. Just drink enough normal water and eat your veggies, you really don't need to force yourself to drink lemon juice.
Our bodies are beautiful, self-regulating temples. Rather than focusing on external detoxes like lemon water, let us focus on positive lifestyle habits and clean eating. Take care of your mental peace, as stress affects the liver as much as anything else.

When my son was diagnosed with fatty liver, we also looked up all these lemon remedies. It is better to skip the hype and focus on reducing refined flour, sugar, and outside junk food. A simple home-cooked meal is the best detox you can give your child.
