Q: I HAVE HIGH TRIGLYCERIDE WHAT GRAINS & FRUIT I SHOULD BE EATTING
Hi Shama,
You want to select whole grain products that are high in fiber and you want to combine grains and fruit with a protein source. Protein helps slow the breakdown of carbohydrates which prevents the blood sugar spikes that can affect triglyceride levels. For example, instead of just eating a piece of toast have toast with peanut butter or combine crackers with a couple slices of cheese.
