Triglycerides are blood fats that serve as energy storage. Elevated levels increase the risk of heart disease. Learn about causes and natural ways to lower them.
Triglycerides are the most common type of fat in the blood, composed of glycerol and three fatty acids. They are derived from dietary fat and excess calories and are stored in fat tissue as an energy source.
High triglyceride levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, especially when combined with low HDL and high LDL cholesterol. They are also linked to fatty liver, insulin resistance, and pancreatitis.
Common causes include:
- High intake of sugar, alcohol, and refined carbs
- Overweight and sedentary lifestyle
- Type 2 diabetes
- Genetic lipid disorders
Lowering triglycerides can often be achieved through lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise, weight loss, and supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids.
Signs & risks of high triglycerides:
- Often symptom-free for years
- Higher risk for stroke, heart attack, fatty liver
- Can cause inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
- Commonly associated with metabolic syndrome
Ways to reduce triglycerides naturally:
- Reduce sugar and processed carbs
- Avoid alcohol
- Eat more omega-3s (fatty fish, algae oil)
- Exercise regularly
- Supportive supplements and weight control
