33. High triglycerides means you have a lot of sugar in your diet.

Alcohol, refined sugar, saturated fat, and low fiber in your diet will keep them high, even if you exercise regularly.

Green leafy vegs like swiss chard, spinach, kale help a lot.
We got my husbands' total cholesterol and triglycerides down with diet only (better than with the drugs) in 3 months. His triglycerides were 1200+ once.

Do anything you can to avoid the commercial drugs - they can be harmful to some people. We had liver problems with the drugs and other nasty side effects in just 2 years of taking them.
