Cholesterol Triglyceride

What You Should Know About Cholesterol Triglycerides

by Rudy Silva

You know about cholesterol but do you know about cholesterol triglyceride. Cholesterol triglyceride is a lipid, which is a type of fat. As lipoproteins circulate in your arteries, they tend to deposit their fat on your artery walls. This process is always occurring, but the problem is when you have high cholesterol triglyceride you create high lipoproteins. Clinical studies show that people with high cholesterol triglyceride are more prone to heart disease. The reason is that there aren't any drugs that can lower cholesterol triglyceride, so doctors don't often discuss this part of the cholesterol picture.

So to reduce your susceptibility for heart disease, you need to reduce your cholesterol triglyceride.

Here is a list of some of the damage high cholesterol triglycerides can do:
• At 200 ml/dl your risk for coronary artery disease doubles
• At 200 ml/dl women have a higher risk of artery disease than men
• High triglyceride levels make you prone to kidney and pancreas diseases

Exercise regularly - the way you exercise makes a difference on your cholesterol triglyceride level. Diet - Eat a balanced diet that's low in sugar, simple carbohydrates, and processed foods. Fiber will help you keep your cholesterol triglycerides low.

There you have it, concentrate your efforts on keeping your cholesterol triglycerides low by eating a cholesterol diet -eat less processed fats, less processed foods, exercising throughout the day, less carbohydrate, and eating more fiber.

A Guide For A Cholesterol Triglyceride Lowering Diet

What are triglycerides? Triglycerides are major components of LDL or low density lipoprotein. If it is determined that raised levels of triglycerides are present, then some form of cholesterol triglyceride lowering diet should be implemented.

An example of a cholesterol triglyceride lowering diet should contain aggressive changes in the daily intake of food. These changes should include fat intake, sodium intake, and of course cholesterol intake. Cholesterol intake should be limited to less than three hundred milligrams.

Once some form of cholesterol triglyceride lowering diet is implemented, a way to hasten the lowering of blood cholesterol levels would be to also implement an aerobic exercise program. This aerobic exercise will help strengthen the cardiovascular system and also help the body metabolize the excess cholesterol and triglycerides.

The first two parts consisting of diet and exercise and the third being the use of herbal supplements.
