A diet rich in fruits and vegetables may help lower ALT. The liver is a football-sized organ in the abdomen responsible for processing nutrients and waste products from the blood. Alanine aminotransferase, or ALT, is an enzyme the liver releases in response to damage or disease.
Enzymes speed up the activation energy, minimum energy for a reaction to occur. It helps break down the different types of food we eat. For example, amylase helps break down carbohydrates. If enzymes were not avalible, we would basically starve to death because we are not getting the nutrients and energy required fast enough.
