Triglycerides

What is the best way to lower triglycerides?

Does a high carb diet contribute to high triglycerides, or is it only if they are excess calories? And why do I ask questions to people that are more igorant of the subject matter than myself?

1. Triglycerides come from meat fat. Cut down on red meat, cut out fried foods (a lot of fast food places fry in beef tallow). it has nothing to do with carbs.
2. I don't think there's any evidence that lowering your triglycerides, rather than lowering your cholesterol, actually has any impact on your health. Best stick to a low fat diet high in fruit and veg and take regular exercise if you're able to for your general health rather than triglycerides.
3. There are some non-medical methods to reduce triglycerides, including: - niacin (high doses of the non-flushing kind) - fish oils (Omega-3 fatty acids) - L-carnitine - high fiber diet and/or taking psyllium twice a day - aerobic exercise It helps to reduce your intake of sugars and alcohol as well. Good luck!
