Top 10 Vital Foods For Lowering High Triglycerides

 Studies have shown that high triglyceride levels are directly related to atherosclerosis, the leading cause of heart disease, stroke, and heart disease. High triglyceride levels can be a sign of uncontrolled diabetes or even liver or kidney disease. High triglyceride levels can be caused by certain medications, such as beta-blockers, tamoxifen, diuretics, or steroids.

Although there are several treatments aimed at lowering high triglycerides and cholesterol, for most people recovering from chronic hyperlipidemia, dietary changes are often enough to control levels.

This report aims to inform the reader about 10 other factors to reduce high cholesterol and triglyceride levels and prevent high blood triglycerides and cholesterol. If you want to start a triglyceride diet, here are some ideas.

1 - Legumes and Nuts

Soybeans, chickpeas, beans, corn, and chickpeas are not only a source of soluble fiber but also an inexpensive way to lower bad cholesterol. A study found that eating 1/2 cup of pinto beans daily for twelve weeks lowered LDL cholesterol levels by 7%.

2 - grains like oats and barley

In addition to being a carbohydrate food alternative (which has been shown to increase triglyceride levels), whole grains are an excellent source of fiber, which plays an important role in your body's absorption and elimination of cholesterol. Barley and oats contain beta-glucan - a highly soluble fiber. Adding at least 3g of soluble fiber to your daily diet is associated with a 5-10% decrease in LDL cholesterol levels. Remember to eat extra fiber and drink plenty of water.

3 - walnuts and almonds

There are good types of fats as nuts (e.g. almonds) provide unsaturated fats that can help raise HDL (good cholesterol). Eating 1 ounce of nuts every day can not only help lower your LDL levels by up to 20% but also help protect against insulin resistance.

4 - Omega 3 fatty acids

Omega 3 fatty acids found in cold water fish, as well as fish oil, have been shown to lower triglyceride levels. Omega 3 is found in foods such as fish, dietary supplements, and pecans.

5 - Psyllium

Eating 10-12g of yellow psyllium (eg in Metamucil dietary supplement) can lower LDL levels. Please seek medical advice before using psyllium as it may interfere with certain medications. Start low - about 3-5 grams of psyllium per day, then build up. Beware of overdosing on psyllium, because it is a laxative and can cause hypokalemia (low potassium). As with any extra fiber supplement, make sure you drink plenty of water.

6 - grape juice or red wine

Alcohol can raise HDL levels, while red wine contains polyphenol antioxidants that lower LDL levels. Because excessive alcohol has been found to raise cholesterol levels, make sure you consume it in moderation.

7 - Vegetables and fruits

Soluble fiber has been proven to be a quick and easy way to lower LDL levels. Some fruits and vegetables that are rich in soluble fiber are Brussels sprouts, pears, oranges, grapefruit, plums, apples, nectarines, and plums.

8 - Tomatoes

Tomatoes, which are known to help with cancer, contain lycopene - the pigment that gives tomatoes their red color - and has been shown to lower LDL levels.

9 - oil (the good type)

Although saturated fats are known to increase LDL, good fats, such as unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, will lower LDL levels and increase HDL. Avocado, olive oil, and canola oil are great alternatives to oil when cooking or dressing your toast.

10 - Yes

Blue tea contains polyphenols that help the body ability to block the absorption of LDL cholesterol. Orientals who consume a lot of tea are likely to have lower cholesterol levels.

In addition to dietary changes, different lifestyle choices are necessary for men and women who want to lower their cholesterol levels. This includes stopping smoking and increasing physical activity. Finding alternatives to your regular diet is key to getting rid of bad LDL cholesterol, for example replacing animal products with vegetables, soy products, and grains can all help reduce saturated fat intake and LDL levels.
