TRIGLYCERIDE: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?

Triglycerides are the most common type of fat in the body. They are most common because the body naturally makes them and also they can be gotten from the food a person eats.

When the body does not need to immediately use all the calories from a meal, it converts the leftover calories from food, especially carbohydrates, into triglycerides. The body can store these triglycerides for later use when it needs more energy.

High triglyceride levels alone do not often cause symptoms, so a person may not know if they have high levels. However, checking triglyceride levels, through laboratory testing, is crucial because they are a risk factor to some conditions such as heart disease, stroke, pancreatitis, fatty liver disease.

Some factors that may cause high levels of triglycerides are as follows
- [ ] Having excess weight
- [ ] Alcohol consumption
- [ ] Excess sugar intake from processed foods
- [ ] Physical inactivity
- [ ] Insulin resistance
- [ ] Chronic kidney disease
- [ ] Inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis
- [ ] Pregnancy

Maintaining a moderate weight through diet and exercise is often the first line of treatment recommended to lower triglyceride levels and keeping them within range.

Supplements and medications are needed when a person needs to reduce their triglyceride levels quickly or does not respond to diet or exercise.

Fasting also helps to reduce triglyceride levels.

So, adopting a healthy lifestyle at this time isn’t an option any longer. It’s actually a necessity.

A small but consistent change does the trick!
Have a blessed week and stay healthy!

*Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight cannot be overemphasized because it comes with lots of benefits ​*

​ *It help Your Joints* . Just 10 extra pounds add 30 to 60 pounds of extra pressure on your knees and other lower body joints. Losing even a little weight can help. If you keep the weight off, you're less likely to get osteoarthritis (a joint disease that causes tissue in the joint to break down) or other joint issues later in life. And if you already have osteoarthritis, losing 10 pounds and keeping it off can reduce the progression of the disease by 50%.
Prevent or Put-Off Diabetes. Weight loss and exercise are ways you can try to prevent or delay getting diabetes. If you already have diabetes, losing weight helps in other ways. It can help you keep control of your blood sugar and take less medication. It can also cut the chances that diabetes will cause other health problems.

*It lowers Your Blood Pressure.* Extra weight means your blood pushes harder against your artery walls, making your heart work harder. Trimming 5% of your weight can lower your BP.
