7 Ways to Reduce Triglycerides Level

Add more fiber to your diet.

Fiber is the part of your food that isn’t digested, and it’s important because it helps you feel full. According to one study, dietary fiber can reduce the risk of high triglycerides in young to middle-aged adults who are overweight or obese. “In general, fiber-rich foods also have carbohydrate content that is more complex and can lead to more gradual absorption by the body, which can also help temper the triglyceride increase that occurs after meals,” says Michael Wesley Milks, MD, a cardiologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus. Fiber is found in whole grains and nutrient-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables.
