I also found this interesting article about triglyceride lowering foods....
http://www.myoptumhealth.com/portal/...e&clicked=true
specifically, it recommends....
Increase omega-3 fats in your diet. Eat fatty fish, such as salmon, sardines or light tuna at least twice a week. Also include walnuts, flaxseed oil, flax meal and dark leafy greens for vegetarian sources of omega-3. Other healthy fats include avocados, olive and canola oil, olives, nuts, seeds and natural peanut butter.
That sounds sensible to me.  |
lol I already eatall those foods and my triglycerides are still awful. But i have a VERY strange system...so don't go by me. lolol Gonna try to up my intake of pb... love natural pb... dip celery in it and I'm a happy camper.
