Dr. Shen Yonghua
The following are some recommended foods that can help improve transaminase levels:
1. Foods rich in antioxidants: such as blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes, carrots, and green tea. Antioxidants in these foods can help reduce oxidative stress in the liver and protect liver cells.
2. Low-fat, high-quality proteins: lean meats, fish, legumes, and nuts are recommended, as they provide essential nutrients without increasing the burden on the liver.
3. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids: such as deep-sea fish. Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation and help improve liver function.
4. Whole grains and high-fiber foods: such as oats and brown rice. These foods help eliminate toxins and waste from the body, reducing the burden on the liver.
5. Turmeric: Curcumin is the main active component of turmeric, which has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is beneficial for liver health.
In cases of elevated transaminase levels, prompt medical attention and adherence to medical advice for treatment are necessary. At the same time, alcohol consumption should be avoided, weight should be controlled, and regular exercise should be maintained.
