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!

Cough Suppression: It is usually unwise to suppress a cough without guidance from your physician, especially a cough from a smoker.  The product mentioned is not available in the u s  market and therefore may not have passed safety testing.  It would not be recommended.
