Hey, so my latest health report showed that my SGPT level is 60 and my total cholesterol is at 239. I'm kind of worried about these numbers. Could you tell me how I might be able to control them?

In your case, to control SGPT levels and total cholesterol, you can make some lifestyle changes and consider medication if necessary. For SGPT levels, you can try avoiding alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a balanced diet. For high cholesterol, you can try incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your diet, as well as regular exercise. Medications like Atorvastatin can also be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
