Triglycerides


My doctor said a normal triglyceride level should be between 40-180 mg/dL.  Mine is 226 and it means I have a high blood fat level.  He also said fat in the blood consists of two forms - cholesterol and triglyceride.  Treating my high triglyceride level will have a similar effect on my cholesterol level.  Talking of hitting two birds in one stone.

And to treat this condition is to reduce my dietary fat.  I have to increase intake of non-fat food.  Olive oil.  High-fibre diet.  Psyllium.  Beta-carotene.  L-carnitine.  The list of recommended cure is never ending.

And aerobic exercise.  This I am doing this afternoon.  Anybody interested?
