How to Lower Triglycerides

Learning how to lower triglycerides is very important, and sadly, most people do not realize its importance because the media focusses almost entirely on cholesterol.

Excess triglycerides can make your blood "sludgy," which can increase the risk of clotting that can cause a blockage. A blockage can then trigger a heart attack or a stroke.

Your triglyceride levels can be determined by a blood test with your physician.

A combination of having elevated cholesterol and high triglycerides can greatly increase your chances of having a heart attack over just high cholesterol alone.

Fortunately, some of the protocols to lower your cholesterol will also help you lower your triglycerides as well.

How to Lower Triglycerides with Diet

Start to consume more essential omega 3 fatty acids, such as extra virgin olive oil, flax seed oil, fish sources such as salmon (or use fish oil supplements).

Avoid processed foods and trans fats, which are man-made and cannot be properly metabolized by the body.

The only way to be good at avoiding deadly trans-fats is to read labels on the foods you buy. If you see the words "hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated" on the label, it contains trans-fats. Put it right back on the shelf.

Cut back on starches, like refined grains, avoid consuming too much alcohol, and try avoiding sugary foods, whether it be candy or pastries.

Substitute pure water for fruit juices, which are high in sugars.

Eat more lean meats, such as chicken, veal, turkey, beef, and vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower.
