Question 1

how can i lower my trygleceride levels  naturally?

Accepted Answer

High Triglycerides: Can be a genetic issue passed down from either (or both) parents. If that is the case, sometimes even the strictest low carb, low sugar diet doesn't even help.  4 grams of flaxseed oil ; fish oil can help "naturally". Ask your doc to test your apo e genotype (lets you know how your body processes fats and what risk strata you are in.) check into advanced lipid testing from health diagnostic labs!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

It is elevated: Normal triglyceride after a 12 hour fast is &lt;150. Your level is mildly to moderately elevated if done fasting. If it was not a fasting level you should get a fasting level. Watch fats in your diet. Avoid fast foodtrigs, fried foods and alcohol all of which are high in fats.

Question 6

my triclyceride is 200+...how can i bring it down to the 100-150 range?

Accepted Answer

Diet and meds.: Eat very low fat diet. Triglycerides directly reflect fatty content of the diet and vary from day to day. Trig in 200's is really a minor elevation and focus should remain on controlling ldl.  If LDL is high a statin medication would be a good choice.  If fasting trig is 1000+ range then lowering trig becomes the focus - Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin may both be useful.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Risk Can Be Elevated: Triglycerides (tg) are blood fats that are elevated for many reasons. Often, high tg occurs with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, low "good" cholesterol (hdl-c), and increased waist size.
