High AST/ALT
I just had my two year checkup and everything else looks great except for my AST and ALT levels (the internet says these are things related to the liver).They are 162 and 126 respectively, which is four times higher than what's considered the high end of normal.
My doctor's office doesn't seem too concerned; they're saying it's normal for DS patients to be this high.
Is this something I need to concerned about? Is there something I should be doing to lower them?
Due to the nature of my lifestyle and business, I always feel inclined to recommend a natural way to find solutions to any health problem. I firmly believe we can develop proper nutrition habits that will help our bodies return to or form brand new ways of efficiency. Weather that be lowering AST and ALT levels or simply increasing our ability to utilize fats or carbohydrates effectively, whatever the case in any given situation i think we can do ourselves a big favour by educating ourselves on how our body functions optimally when we give it what it was designed to receive through food. Of course i believe medicine can help as well, just advocating proper nutrition first. Take a look at this article here at medicalnewstoday.com, it might help provide some suggestions on where you could begin implementing some good habits into your diet and lifestyle. Hope it helps!
