Nutrition : Generally lower levels of triglycerides are considered as healthier. Triglyceride level less than 150mg/dL are considered as normal, whereas triglyceride levels less than 50mg/dl may be considered as low. Hyperthyroid or malnutrition may cause very low triglycerides

No : You have a very interesting lipid profile . You good Cholestetol is excellent . It eould have been lower if your TG were higher . Not knowing your dietary habits , your weight & FH with respect to CAD , I highly recommend that you try to fallow a low fat diet reduce your wright to achieve IBW . The goal is to bring your total Cholesterol to below 200 and your LDL to below 100 .
