Hi D Ankom,

 

Thanks for your question. While you should always check with your physician about possible lifestyle changes, here is a post by Dr. Davis, "Find Out How to Reduce Triglycerides", that should get you thinking in the right direction. Hope this helps!

If you are a female, a waist measurement over 35 inches (40" for men) is a sign of increased risk of heart disease.  Also you should have a BMI (Body Mass Index) in the low 20's.  Diet and exercise is of upmost importance in decreasing the risk of heart disease.  Stay away from saturated fats and transfats also.

 

Have a wonderful long life!
