How to lower your Triglycerides
What is triglyceride?
Triglyceride is another kind of lipid. It is not as strong a coronary risk factor as cholesterol.
Less than 200 mg/dL of triglyceride is desirable; 200 to 400 mg/dL is borderline high; 400 to 1,000 mg/dL is high; and above 1,000 mg/dL is very high.
You can reduce abnormally elevated triglyceride levels by losing body weight, by eating a low-saturated-fat, low-cholesterol diet, by regular exercise, and by avoiding smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol.
