How To Lower Triglycerides Naturally Part 1

January 4, 2008

Lowering your triglycerides naturally is actually quite easy and can be done in several different ways. As I’ve talked about in a previous health boosting tip, one of the best ways to improve your overall health is to lose weight. When you lose weight you will automatically lower your triglycerides.

There other way to lower your triglycerides that I’d like to tell you about today is to reduce your carbohydrate intake. A study published in the 2007 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition show a linear relationship between triglyceride levels and triglyceride intake. This means that when people increased their carbohydrate consumption, their triglyceride levels also increased and when they reduced their carbohydrates consumption, their triglyceride levels decreased.

To make the greatest impact on your triglyceride levels is it important that you reduce simple and added sugars from your diet as they have the greatest impact on your triglyceride levels.
