High intake of saturated fats, processed meats, and regular alcohol can irritate the liver, causing enzymes to rise. Stick to fresh, home-cooked food and keep an eye on your blood reports.

My uncle had elevated SGOT and SGPT levels from eating outside food daily. Avoiding refined flour (maida), sugary sodas, and heavy deep-fried dishes helped him bring them down.
