As for the harmful ones, it goes through several processes and sends them to the kidneys, where they are filtered and eliminated from the body in the form of urea. As long as food consumption continues throughout the day, its operation continues. It tries to undertake many functions throughout the day, such as metabolism of nutrients, cleansing toxins from the body, etc. During fasting, since there is a long period of hunger, the load on the liver decreases during fasting, so the liver rests.
