Triglycerides can be: Elevated by medications or especially by high-glycemic-index carbohydrates (high-fructose corn syrup is major offender). Fast foods like french fries are good example. Limit fried foods, fast foods, high starch foods (potatoes, white bread, rice, pasta). Some people have a genetic disposition to high tg's but your situation may be primarily dietary.

Agree with Dr. L: Reduce your intake of saturated fats and carbohydrates. If you are overweight, losing weight would help. Regular aerobic exercise will help. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
