how to reduce tryglycrides?
612752
You have your cholesterol levels under control, but now your doctor says your triglycerides are still high. Triglycerides, like cholesterol, are blood fats. Research suggests that high levels increase risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. And very high levels (see chart) put you at risk for pancreatitis, a life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas.\n\nThe good news is that lifestyle and dietary changes can significantly reduce triglyceride levels in most people. Mayo Clinic experts offer the following tips to help lower your risk of disease:\n\n* Eat fish high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, mackerel, and herring.\n\n* Cut back on sugary foods, such as cookies and soda.\n\n* Cut back on alcohol.\n\n* Exercise at least 30 minutes nearly every day.\n\nThe test for triglyceride levels should be done when you are fasting and no extra triglycerides from a recent meal are present in the bloodstream. Triglyceride levels after a meal may be 10 times higher than fasting levels.

Here's what you do: Try to cut out dairy and meat completely or limit yourself to small servings every few days!  Little or NO oil, fried foods.  Every night and every morning, a glass of Lemon and water.  Stevia, although more expensive is a natural sweetener and should be used instead of sugar.  Use whole wheat bread and flour,  white bread and flour sticks to your arteries.  Eat only fruits up until noon.  A LOT of esparagus.  Good and healthy w/ soy sauce, mixed w/ little virgin olive oil, garlic and another spice you may wish to use.  This will help avoid other strokes in the future.  Remember to walk or swim, or do some sort of excercise daily, improving cardiovascular system.  Best of Luck!

What helped me:\n\n-drinking 6 glasses of water a day (not with meals...you don't want to dilute your stomach acids too much or you can't digest properly)\n-straight Shea butter (high quality,unbleached)instead of petroleum based products. \n-Don't use products with glycerin in dry weather because if the humidity in the air is under 65%, it will draw moisture OUT of your skin\n-wear dish gloves whenever cleaning\n-wear gloves outside if it is below 40 F.\n\nThis has helped my hands a lot, but it's best to be 18, not over 30!

Start exercising - walk 20 -30 minutes a day, cut down on sugar, eat more mini meals and drink more fluids (water, diet cola, sugar free tea).  Don't forget to include yogurt, milk and cheese as a snack.  Should help reduce problem areas.  Also consulting a doctor to see what's best for you and your body type may be helpful.

Exercise every day, even if it's just a walk. Go on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. Eat fish, eggs, chicken, occasional lean beef or pork, low fat cottage cheese. Stay away from regular cheese, no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, peas, beans (except green beans). No more than one piece of fruit a day and no fruit juice (it's sugar water, my dr says). Cut down on carrots and tomatoes (included ketchup). Use mustard instead of mayonnaise in recipes. Eat lots of salads, green vegetables. Salads only have one tablespoon of dressing for the whole salad. No ice cream, or other desserts.

1)  Don't smoke or take tobacco products.  2)  Keep your blood pressure down to normal.  3)  If you are diabetic, control it extremely well.  A deficiency of chromium has been proven to cause some type II diabetes.  A supplement of 200 micrograms a day of chromium picolinate will remedy this.  4)  check your cholesterol, your good cholesterol (HDL) and the bad cholesterol (LDL).  You want to maximize the HDL and minimize the LDL.  Also, check the triglycerides, and minimize them.  If fat, you want to get the weight down and keep it down.  Regular exercise, even just walking a mile nonstop 3 times a week will help your cholesterol.  GET OFF ALL trans fats.  Trans fats are partially hydrogenated oils, contained in shortening, margarine, and many processed foods. Keep the total amount of fat in your diet fairly low.  Keep off all trans fats.  Next most important is to keep the saturated fats low.  Then the total fats low.  Don't eat junk food, which is food high in sugar, refined flour, and fat.  Eat lots of whole grain cereals and breads and pastas.  Eat lots of vegetables and fruits, and some lean meats and fish.  5) check your homocysteine level.  If high, take 2 mg of folic acid per day (3 of the big 800 microgram tablets).  6)  If you can't drink alcohol without drinking heavy, then abstain totally from alcohol.  Otherwise, take one or two glasses of dry red wine each evening.  7)  consider taking one adult aspirin per day to reduce blood clots, esp. if over 50 years old or strong family history.  8)  Get plenty of the essential (required in diet) omega 3 oil.  You can do this by eating 3 servings of cold water ocean fish per week, such as salmon, sardines, or white albacore tuna, etc.  or you can take 1-2 tablespoons of cold pressed flax seed oil daily, either added to cold cereal or salad or fruit or mixed into low fat cottage cheese (this is rec. by Dr. Johanna Budwig, the doc who has done extensive research on it.  the cottage cheese provides sulfur containing amino acids which complement the omega 3)  9)  Get plenty of all your vitamins and minerals.  If you eat well, this shouldn't be a problem.  It's hard to get too much vitamin C.  Dr. Linus Pauling, the Nobel winner, recommended 10-15 grams of vit C per day.  1 gm = 1000 mg.  Other important antioxidant vitamins are vit A and its precursor caratenoids, and vit E.  Coral calcium is a good natural source of calcium, as well as all the other minerals.  The bioflavenoids, such as those found in grape seed extract and in elderberry concentrate or wine seem to be important antioxidant vitamins.  10)  Don't get real stressed out!  The old expression about "something breaking your heart" has some truth in it.  11)  Keep your teeth and gums clean.  When you develop rotten teeth and gums, it may somehow spread inflammation to cholesterol placques.  We don't really know, but we do know that inflammation is part of the heart attack condition, of thrombosis of placques.  12) The monounsaturated oils, either olive oil, or canola oil, are considered to be your best oils for cooking, from an arterial standpoint.  I think real butter is better for you than margarine, since it doesn't have any trans fats, but go easy on it.

Cut all processed food and watch the weight fly off! In other words, shop only on the outer rim of the Supermarket :). Eat veggies, fruit, unprocessed meat, low fat dairy. Stay AWAY from white sugar, white flour, corn syrup. If you can't hunt it or gather it, don't eat it! I lost 30 lbs eating this way. You would be amazed how much better you feel once you cut out sugar and white flour! You will have much more energy. Substitute your sugar intake with Stevia (300X sweeter than sugar) and no calories or carbs! It is natural and does not raise the glycemic index. Good LUCK!!

Eliminate fatty foods, spices(especially pepper), fruit juices, coffee, tea, cocoa, soda and alcohol.  Also avoid meat for at least 2 weeks.  Eat 2 ounces of low fat cheese a day.  Make sure you eat fruits and vegetables that are low in acid.  Eat only when you are relaxed and take your time eating.  \n\nPut 1 teaspoon of licorce root or marshmallow root in a 1 cup of water and simmer for 15 minutes and drink slowly, make sure you eat eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to ensure adequate intake of potassium.  Both of these offer a soothing action on the mucous membranes.  When eating your fruits and veggies, let them get to room temperature.  Try to avoid cold foods and drinks.
