Answer 2

There are high causes for high triglycerides are: high fat foods and weight gain, age, medications, illness, and heredity. Triglycerides rise when we eat more calories – especially of certain kinds of foods – than our body immediately needs. The process goes something like this… We eat a meal loaded with calories. An enzyme called lipase breaks down the fat into glycerol and fatty acids. One glycerol component is joined by three fatty acids – becoming a triglyceride component. Unused triglycerides are transported to fat cells for storage. When energy is needed hormones trigger the release of these stored fats. To lower triglycerides you need to watch the food you eat and certainly exercise. Triglycerides will lower automatically when you lower your cholesterol intake. Due to hereditary factors, your doctor may also recommend a supplement. Follow your doctor's advice seriously along with a healthy diet and exercise.
