Water alone cannot directly "flush" bilirubin from the body. While staying hydrated is essential for overall health, including liver function, it's the liver that processes and eliminates bilirubin.
- Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells.
- The liver is responsible for converting bilirubin into a water-soluble form, which can then be excreted in bile.
- Bile is a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, which helps digest fats.
- Water plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and supporting various bodily functions, including liver function.
However, staying adequately hydrated is crucial for supporting the liver's ability to process and eliminate bilirubin.
