With all the focus in the last 15 years on cholesterol, mainly due to the many billions of dollars made by selling cholesterol-lowering drugs, the role of high triglycerides in heart disease has often been overlooked. There is simply not enough money to be made in lowering triglycerides. This is because it is mainly a dietary issue.
Abnormally high levels of triglycerides have been involved in causing atherosclerosis, or hardening of the blood vessels. They have also been involved in inflammation of the pancreas and other disorders. The good news is that for most citizen lowering their triglyceride levels is a easy matter of great nutrition and will power. Let me let you in on a personal story.
Triglyceride
I personally had borderline to high triglyceride levels since my youthful years. Any medical doctors told me that it was “idiopathic,” which, in plain English means that they had no idea why my triglycerides were higher than they should have been. After spending Any years learning biochemistry and trying all sorts of nutritional plans, I found that unavoidable easy dietary changes and one excellent nutritional supplement dropped my triglyceride levels from just under 200 to well below 50 in just a join of months. And this is where they have remained.
I then shared this success story with a friend, who was also diagnosed as having “idiopathic” high triglycerides, except that he also had a history of heart disease in his house and his triglycerides were over 850, which is dangerously high. Well, I’m happy to say that after copying my nutritional plan, his house doctor’s eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw the results of 105 in two months and 74 two months after that, proving that citizen can and do have control over their own health.
The strategy is the following: eliminate all easy sugars and refined carbohydrates from the diet. That means no white bread, no white rice, no white spaghetti, no sugar and/or sweets, no alcohol and no sweet/tropical fruits. Replace them with involved carbohydrates, such as dark rye rusks, brown rice, whole-grain spaghetti and lots of raw and steamed vegetables. Replace the sweet fruits with sour, low-fructose fruits, such as Granny Smith apples, kiwis and grapefruits.
Sugars, all types of sugars, including sucrose, dextrose, maltose and ordinarily whatever that ends in -ose, are converted by the body into triglycerides. Fructose, or fruit sugar, is one of the worst offenders, being the most damaging when consumed in fruits with a low fiber content. A good normal rule is to eat only fruits that grow in the Northern European or North American latitudes, such as apples, pears and berries, which are lower in fructose than tropical fruits and to limit their consumption to a few servings per day.
The second piece of the puzzle is exercise. Daily rehearsal helps to burn off excess triglycerides, as the fats in your body are converted into energy. The key here is consistency, not fanaticism. My friend, for example, began with walking up a steep hill for one half mile, twice a day on his way to work after breakfast and lunch. It’s that simple.
The final piece of the puzzle is taking at least six capsules of a pure, top-quality concentrated fish oil supplement, every particular day. Fish oil is very effective at lowering triglycerides. Honestly, I can say that it was a great satisfaction for me to see my friend wave his blood test results in my face with glee, after advent back from his (shocked) house doctor. And to top it all off, he lost about 35 kilos, or 77 pounds, yet other health advantage of this regimen.
