Patient's question:
In the hospital, my health checkup showed that all other indicators were normal, except for high triglycerides. It may also be due to my obesity. The doctor recommended that I diet. I haven't felt any discomfort myself. What should I do about high triglycerides?Doctor's answer:
Triglycerides are high, which is caused by high fat content in the human body. It is usually accompanied by the examination of cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein. High triglyceride levels can lead to coronary heart disease and blood viscosity. Normal people should have levels below 1.7 millimoles per liter. This is mainly due to improper diet, such as consuming excessive animal fat, and lack of exercise. It is recommended to have a light diet and engage in more physical activity.
