The Importance of the Nutritional ApproachtoHigh Blood Triglycerides

There is something else you need to check out besides cholesterol: your blood triglycerides level. If it is elevated, you are at an increased risk of cardiovascular health problems, such as heart attack and stroke.

Your body convertsexcess of calories you consume, mainly carbohydrates, into triglycerides. They are stored in fat cells to be used for energy when neede, usuallyin between meals. However, if you consume too much calories, much more than you can burn, especially the “easy” calories, blood triglyceride levels tend reach unhealthy levels.

“High triglycerides are usually linked to obesity.  You’re also at risk, if you have diabetes, kidney disease and underactive thyroid. Some drugs, like birth control pills, water pills, steroids and beta blockers, can too cause high triglycerides. One of the main reasons of elevated blood triglycerides is alcohol,” says Andrew Mierzejewski, a registered nutritionist at Full of Health.

“Unfortunately, lipid-lowering prescription medications offerunsatisfactory results. Besides, they contribute to many other health issues accompanied by multiple side effects. It has been well established by nutritionistsand nutritionally-oriented physicians that the natural approach to high blood triglycerides, compared to typical medical (drug) treatments, is a superior, safe and effective option. Individuals with elevated triglycerides do benefit fromtaking specialty dietary supplements accompanied by dietary and lifestyle changes. Your health is in your hands. You canbring your  triglycerides down to healthy levels naturally - without prescription medications,” says Andrew Mierzejewski.
