Understanding Elevated Triglycerides: Common Yet Risky

Elevated Triglycerides (TG) in reports have become very common nowadays, but ignoring them can be dangerous.

1. Even thin people can have high TG. 2. Sugar and refined flour increase TG – not just oil. 3. TG can rise slightly even after quitting alcohol. 4. High TG usually shows no symptoms. 5. Even if cholesterol is normal, TG remains important. 6. TG levels above 500 pose a risk to the pancreas. 7. Non-fasting tests are inaccurate for TG measurement. 8. Eating sweets at night increases TG. 9. TG cannot be lowered by medication alone. 10. Reducing TG improves liver, heart, and sugar control.

Sugar, fat, liver, and heart health are all interconnected.

Controlling Triglycerides means taking care of overall health.
