High Triglycerides
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
| Recommendation | Why | Get started |
|---|---|---|
| Choose good fats | Many doctors recommend a diet higher in unsaturated fats, such as olive oil, over a diet high in saturated fat to reduce triglycerides and heart disease risk. In other words, choose fish, soya, and nonfat dairy, and avoid meats and fatty dairy. | |
| Eat more fish | Triglyceride-lowering omega-3s are found in fatty fish such as herring, mackerel, sardines, anchovies, albacore tuna, and black cod. | |
| Focus on fibre | Diets high in fibre have reduced triglyceride levels in some studies. Water-soluble fibres, such as those found in fruit, beans, and oats, may be particularly helpful. | |
| Don’t drink to excess | While drinking moderate amounts of alcohol does not appear to affect triglyceride, heavy drinking is believed to increase levels. | |
| Limit sugar | People with elevated triglycerides should replace sugary foods and drinks with natural, unsweetened options, as refined sugar increases triglyceride levels. | |
| Try a low-fat, high-complex-carb diet | In one study, a low-fat diet high in unrefined carbohydrates reduced triglycerides. | |
| Cut the caffeine | In a study of heavy caffeine users, changing to decaffeinated coffee and eliminating all other caffeinated products reduced triglyceride levels by 25%. |
