Social media posts often claim that an avocado and ginger drink can “cleanse the liver and lungs in just three days” or remove all toxins from the body. There is no scientific evidence to support these claims. Your liver and kidneys already work continuously to filter waste products and toxins, and no single drink can dramatically “detox” these organs.
That said, avocado and ginger are nutritious ingredients that can be part of a healthy, balanced diet.
