In your body there are different types of fat. One of these types is Triglycerides. Triglycerides are the most common type of fat in your body. They are also found in your blood.
When we eat, our bodies burns the calories we need as energy required to perform any activity. Normally, we eat much more calories than what we burn. These extra calories we didn’t burn during the day are turned into Triglycerides and stored to be used later, being stored as fat in our bodies. It doesn’t matter what kind of food we eat –carbohydrate, protein or fat. If we eat more calories than we burn we develop Triglycerides, and if that excess of calories is elevated, the level of Triglycerides might be high as well.
Triglycerides are important for a good health, in normal amounts of course. The reason is that they are a major source of energy. But when our level of Triglycerides is high, it increases the risk of heart disease.
The excess of Triglycerides in blood (called hypertriglyceridemia) is linked to cases of coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, pancreatitis and stroke.
One of the reasons for a high level of Triglycerides is an unattended diabetes; and as other health conditions like cholesterol, our level of Triglycerides can be detected with a plasma test (blood test).
Normal Triglycerides levels need to be below 150, being a measure of 200 considered high.
How To Reduce Triglyceride Levels
Some easy ways to lower the level of Triglycerides in or body are a good cardiovascular exercise routine and a diet with moderated carbohydrate intake which include essential fatty acids. The reduction of alcohol intake helps a lot, and the use of fish oil and niacin have reported good results in reducing levels of Triglycerides too.
The point is that lowering our level of Triglycerides is not that difficult. One of the easiest ways, as we see before, is to start burning more calories than we eat; or eating less calories than we could burn during the day. There are many publications with useful techniques that show you many ways to do it. Simply start eating healthier foods and start an easy and moderated cardiovascular exercise routine. You’ll realized that exercising a bit is not that difficult. You’ll start feeling better and look better which will be a motivation to keep doing it until you get to a point where if you miss one day of exercise you’ll feel that something is missing. Just do it! You’ve got nothing to lose and a new life to gain.
