Recently, my health checkup showed AST/ALT levels nearly three times higher than normal, so I went for a follow-up ultrasound. Fortunately, the results showed early-stage fatty liver with no specific lesions. The doctor said this is really common among office workers in their 20s and 30s.
Here's what I learned from this experience:
1. Even when liver levels are high, there are often no immediate symptoms, so it's easy to ignore.
2. They say carbohydrates and sugar affect fatty liver more than alcohol does.
3. Even just walking 20 minutes a day can help improve it.
4. There aren't many supplements with proven effectiveness. In the end, dietary control is the answer.
The doctor only prescribed diet and exercise, and I'm scheduled for a re-test in three months. When you get your health checkup results, don't just brush them off—be sure to check them. It could be a signal from your body.
