Easy Ways To Lower Your Triglycerides
Having a high triglyceride level can lead you to many different types of heart disease. Triglycerides at a healthy level are stored in your fat cells and release energy to your body between meals to curb your appetite. Unhealthy triglyceride levels (those in excess) can begin to build up in the lining of your heart, putting you at risk of heart disease. If you wish to lower your triglycerides, there are many things you can do, both naturally and medically prescribed to get down to an acceptable and healthy level.
Keeping your glucose level down is something that can help control your triglyceride level. There are special diets being advertised on the market today that nutritionists and dieticians are recommending maintaining a healthy triglyceride level. Diets that focus on a low carbohydrate intake will decrease your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet and the Zone Diet are some of the more popular diets that focus on high proteins, cheeses and vegetables, with a very limited portion of fruits, sugars and dairy (with exception of cheese). A daily diet consisting of high sugar content will most definitely increase your triglyceride level. This also can be said for alcoholic beverages which contain a large amount of sugars (as alcohol breaks down into sugar), so limiting your alcohol intake can lower your triglycerides as well.
If you are not interested in trying to keep your triglyceride level down with a particular diet, there are certain supplements that you can take to try and decrease your levels. Researchers have found that a combination of a diet low in carbohydrates with plenty of vitamin C and Omega 3 fatty acids lowers both your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. You should be aware that you should not try to eliminate natural animal fat from your daily diet. Your body needs eggs and butter to perform many natural functions. Those types of fats are called “good fats” and should be ingested within reason. If you want to lower your triglycerides, you should try and eliminate the bad fats from your diet that are found in hydrogenated oils found in margarine as well as fatty fast food.
