We now know that high triglycerides can contribute to clogged arteries like cholesterol does and are a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes just as cholesterol is. So what’s the difference? Well, they’re both considered lipids, because they’re both not soluble in water. But cholesterol is a waxy substance, while triglycerides are oily, basically made up of 3 fat molecules attached to half a sugar molecule. Also it takes days or weeks to cause a change in cholesterol. Whereas triglycerides change quickly as in a matter of a few hours. Here are 7 ways to control triglycerides; 1. eat less processed sugar and carbs, 2. avoid saturated and trans fat, 3. eat more omega 3 oils, 4. exercise, 5. lose weight, 6. surprisingly alcohol raises triglycerides so limit alcohol, and 7. eat more fiber, this may be the most important thing that you can do because it helps in 3 ways, it slows the absorption of carbs, slows the absorption of fats and also breeds good gut flora that help to regulate triglycerides.
