See below: Attain or attempt to attain ideal body weight. Avoid alcohol in excess. Control blood sugar if diabetic. Eat a plant based diet. If all of that fails, niacin, Gemfibrozil and similar meds will lower the TG.

Diet and exercise: Your body uses triglycerides to transport unneeded carbs to fat cells. First, avoid simple sugars. Get the "white" out of your diet (starches, white sugar, bread, and white rice). Concentrate on greens, and particularly deep green, like kale, spinach, etc. Second, exercise regularly. Your routine should include 10,000 steps daily and aerobic activity for at least 30 minutes daily 4-5 days weekly.

Lifestyle changes: Hi, what you eat matters the most as well as regular exercise. Cook with avocado or olive oil instead of vegetable oils. Eat foods with healthier sources of fat(Avocados/nuts/fish etc). Less processed/fast/fried/high carb/sugary foods. More veges, less red meat. Reduce alcohol/tobacco. These are some of many good habits to have for life. So pick one/few and work towards a healthy lifestyle.
