What is albumin and why is it important for overall health? - #16617
I recently had some routine blood tests, and the doctor mentioned that my albumin levels were lower than normal. I had no idea what albumin was or what its role in the body is, so I did some research. I learned that albumin is a protein made by the liver and that it helps maintain fluid balance, transport nutrients, and regulate blood pressure. I’m concerned because low albumin levels can indicate liver problems, kidney disease, or malnutrition, but the doctor didn’t give me any clear advice on how to address this. I’ve been feeling more fatigued and have had some swelling in my legs, which I read could be related to low albumin. What can I do to increase albumin levels naturally and improve overall protein production? Does Ayurveda offer any herbs or foods that help nourish the liver and support albumin production? I’ve read that Amla, Ashwagandha, and Triphala can help improve digestion and nutrient absorption, but I’m not sure how to incorporate them into my routine. If anyone has experience with low albumin levels or liver health in Ayurveda, I’d love to hear your advice on how to boost albumin production and improve overall health naturally.
