How Can GGT Levels Be Lowered?

I applied for a life insurance policy and they increased the premium and rate because my blood test came back from the exam with GGT at 166. I know this has something to do with liver, but what else should I know? I asked to take it again in 60 days. Can I do anything to lower that GGT number? What is normal?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Normal range for GGT is 0-50.
Most common cause for high GGT is alcohol habit.
So first of all you should quit alcohol if you have this habit.
Another cause is fatty liver due to obesity.
So loose weight if you are obese.
Start syrup liv 52 thrice daily.
Avoid oily, spicy and fatty food.
Take simple high protein diet like pulses.
Don't worry, if you follow these, you will achieve normal GGT level.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
