Is there any scientific basis for the detoxification schedule of human organs?

Rumor:

Human organs have detoxification times, which are: lymphatic detoxification from 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm; liver detoxification from 11:00 pm to 1:00 am; 1 am : 00-3:00 gallbladder detoxification; spinal hematopoiesis from midnight to 4:00 a.m.; 3:00-5:00 a.m., the lungs begin to detoxify; 5:00-7:00 a.m. large intestine detoxification; 7:00-9:00 a.m. 00The small intestine absorbs nutrients.

Rumors:

Human organs do not have time to detoxify!

First of all, "detoxification" is not a rigorous medical term. It is a rhetoric to cater to people's pursuit of longevity and health. Assuming that the human body really has a "detoxification" process, then the faster the metabolism, the better the detoxification effect. During the sleeping period from 11:00 pm to 1:00 am, when the human body rests and the entire metabolism slows down, why is the detoxification of the liver and other organs intensified? So the argument is untenable.

In fact, the so-called human toxins are just excess garbage in the body. There are two main sources: First, what modern medicine calls metabolic waste retention after food digestion and absorption, and from the environment. The deposition of various "pollutants" in the body, such as lactic acid, uric acid, free radicals and even excess fat in the body, old and necrotic cells, etc. The other is what traditional medicine calls dross, such as phlegm, turbidity, blood stasis, etc. The human metabolism, excretion and detoxification system is very complete, so there is no need to deliberately "detoxify on time".

The liver, kidneys, intestines, skin and other organs themselves are the metabolic organs of the human body. We only need to pay attention to the correct diet, regular life, appropriate exercise and a healthy mentality. Additional "detoxification" "It will only increase the burden on the body. To reduce the burden on the two main detoxification organs, the liver and kidneys, we should start by reducing the intake of "toxins", such as not abusing drugs (including not taking excessive "detoxification and beauty" health products), living a healthy life, drinking water scientifically and exercising, and Promote metabolism.
