TRIGLYCERIDES, BLOOD FAT LEVELS
www.webmd.com - People who take steps to alter their lifestyles and eat healthier diets can significantly reduce high levels of triglycerides, a type of blood fat that is associated with heart and blood vessel problems and other diseases, the American Heart Association says in a new scientific statement. Changes can include substituting healthy, unsaturated dietary fats for saturated ones, exercising, and losing weight, which could reduce triglycerides by 20% to 50%, the AHA statement says. “The good news is that high triglycerides can, in large part, be reduced through major lifestyle changes,” says Michael Miller, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. “In contrast to cholesterol, where lifestyle measures are important but may not be the solution, high triglycerides are often quite responsive to lifestyle measures that include weight loss if overweight, changes in diet and regular physical activity,” added Dr Miller.
For people who are outside the normal range of triglycerides, the scientists recommend limiting: * Added sugar to less than 5% to 10% of calories, or about 100 calories per day for women and 150 calories daily for men. * Fructose, from processed foods and naturally occurring foods, to less than 50 to 100 grams per day. * Saturated fat to less than 7% of total calories. * Trans fat to less than 1% of total calories. * Alcohol, especially if triglyceride levels are higher than 500 milligrams per deciliter. People with high triglycerides should focus on eating more vegetables; fruits that are lower in fructose, and high-fiber whole grains.
A new study has indicated that dietary and lifestyle changes, such as improving eating habits and do exercise, can significantly reduce elevated levels of triglycerides (a type of blood fat) which are associated with heart and blood vessel diseases and other health problems. People who take proper steps can reduce unhealthy blood fat levels.
