Patient's question:
Doctor, I discovered high triglycerides during my health check-up a few days ago. I'd like to come in for a consultation. How serious is this condition? What dietary precautions should I take? What foods can help reduce it? What should I pay attention to in my daily diet? What foods might be causing it to rise?Doctor's answer:
Triglycerides are a type of blood lipid. A decrease in triglycerides may indicate hyperlipidemia. This blood lipid is greatly influenced by dietary factors. If you consume too much greasy food regularly, it can lead to a decrease in blood lipids, causing blood to become thick and increasing the likelihood of repeated vascular blockages. It is recommended to consult the internal medicine department of a hospital for follow-up. Medications to reduce blood lipids should be used under the guidance of a physician. Take the medication on schedule, have regular check-ups, follow a light diet, and avoid consuming large amounts of fish and meat.
