How Can High Levels Of AST And ALT Liver Enzymes Be Reduced?
Hello- I just had my bloodwork done and my AST and ALT liver enzymes came back pretty high.
I quit drinking alchohol about 2 weeks prior to the blood test and I have been working out (weight lifting, cardio) 5-6 days a week to loose some weight. I am 5' 6" and was 203lbs. I just lost 20 lbs in about 2 weeks. Also I did a 7 day juice fast in the beginning. I did drink pretty heavily over the holidays and I am wondering if the working out, juicing and vitamins have something to do with this since my liver is filtering out all the toxins?
I feel great but want to get this under control, thanks for the help!
