Understanding Liver Health & Longevity
The liver performs over 500 vital functions, including detoxifying blood, protein synthesis, and bile production. Because the liver can often function even when damaged, regular screenings are the only way to detect early-stage Fatty Liver (NAFLD) or Hepatic inflammation before symptoms appear.
Diagnostic Markers Explained
| Marker | Indication |
|---|---|
| ALT (SGPT) | Primary indicator of liver cell damage or inflammation. |
| GGT | Sensitive marker for bile duct issues and alcohol-related stress. |
| Albumin | Measures how well the liver is producing essential proteins. |
Liver Recovery: Actionable Steps
Glutathione Support: Boosting antioxidants through cruciferous vegetables.
Fiber Intake: Reducing toxin re-absorption via the gut-liver axis.
Hydration: Ensuring optimal fluid levels for metabolic processing.
