Active, heathy, skinny, high triglycerides?
09/16/09
I am 52, a triathlete, have very low body fat, and very healthy cholesterol and glucose levels. I eat well and exercise 5-6 days a week. I just had my cholesterol checked and was dumbfounded to learn my triglyceride level is 479! What is going here?

Hi Carolleigh,
Hmmm, I agree, from the information you've shared your elevated triglyceride level does not make sense. I definitely recommend working with your physician to determine the cause. Here is a post you may want to review to make sure you are on track with promoting a low triglyceride level:
