Liver ko kaise saaf karen - #12171
I am really worried about my health lately. I've been feeling bloated and just off. I've read a lot online about how important it is to have a healthy liver and that "liver ko kaise saaf karen." Which is something I think I really need to do. Last month, I had some blood tests done and my liver enzymes were slightly elevated, which freaked me out because I don't know what that really means. I'm not a heavy drinker, but I do eat a lot of junk food and I feel like maybe that’s affecting my liver health? I came across tips about how to detox your liver and honestly, I'm so confused. Do I need to go on a special diet? Are there particular foods I should eat or avoid? Can some herbal stuff actually help with "liver ko kaise saaf karen"? My friend mentioned something about drinking lemon water or some tea but I'm just not sure what actually works. I’ve tried a few things but nothing seems to be making a diff. Should I see another doctor or stick with my current one? I want to take it seriously but it’s just overwhelming. Help!

Doctors’ responses
Elevated liver enzymes can indeed be concerning, but they don’t always suggest severe liver damage. They can indicate inflammation or stress on the liver, possibly from your diet, medications, or other lifestyle factors. While special detox diets or herbal remedies like lemon water or teas are often touted online, there is limited scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness in truly cleansing or improving liver function and could, in some cases, interfere with necessary medical treatments. Concentrating on a balanced diet is a more practical approach. Incorporate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Foods rich in antioxidants, like berries or leafy greens, can support liver health, but should be a part of an overall healthy diet rather than focusing on any single “detox food.” Limiting processed foods, high in sugars and unhealthy fats, and cutting back on alcohol intake can also relieve some strain on the liver. Regular physical activity will further aid your metabolism and contribute to an overall healthy lifestyle. Before introducing any herbal supplements, it’s best to consult your current doctor or a dietitian since they can interact with medications or have side effects. Given your recent blood test results, sharing any diet or lifestyle changes with your doctor is crucial, ensuring they align with your individual health needs. If you feel you need further insight beyond your current doctor, seeking a second opinion could provide additional comfort and clarity. However, it’s essential to make changes that fit into your routine and are sustainable long term, focusing on gradual, healthy adjustments rather than short-term fixes.
