A member asked:

How can i lower my triglyceride levels to prevent heart attacks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Triglycerides: Watch your diet. Eat more proteinaceous food and exclude carbohydrates and fats. Do regular exercise for a minimum of 45 minutes per day x min 5 days per week. Rule out causes like hypothyroidism and any familial etiology.
