A member asked:
Can you tell me some alternative or healthy diet to lowering triglyceride instead of gemfibrozil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fiber and alcohol!: Although docs cannot recommend alcohol, european studies confirm that 1 to 2 drinks a day raises HDL and lowers triglycerides and bad cholesterol, ldl. High fiber foods do the same. Same with vigorous exercise.
