High Triglycerides Risk Factors

Triglycerides account for about 95% of our dietary fats. Both vegetable and animal fat, contain triglycerides. Once the food is digested, triglycerides begin to circulate in the bloodstream being used for energy by the body cells. Any leftovers will be stored in the liver as fat to fuel the body in between meals. If we eat more food than we can burn, the calories are being turned into triglycerides.

High levels of blood triglycerides are linked to several serious health problems, including heart disease. Elevated triglyceride levels are also associated with a metabolic syndrome leading to increased risk of diabetes, heart attack and stroke.

People with metabolic syndrome have:

      High level of blood triglycerides.
      High level of blood glucose.
      Abdominal obesity (Excess fat around the stomach).
      Low level of HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol.

Hypertension (High blood pressure).

      Common Causes of High Blood Triglycerides:
      Excessive alcohol consumption.
      Hypothyroidism (Underactive thyroid).
      Liver disease.
      Poorly controlled diabetes.

Here’s the standard classification of blood triglyceride levels:

     Normal:below1.7 mmol/L
     Borderline-high: 1.7 - 2 mmol/L
     High: 2- 6 mmol/L
     Very high: over 6 mmol/L

Once again, elevated  levels of triglyceride are a warning sign of serious health problems. And the best way to keep them within the normal range is making some necessary dietary and lifestyle changes.

Do Exercise and Lower Your Triglycerides Level

Cholesterol and triglycerides are the two major fats in the human body. A higher level of any one of them can lead you to several life threatening diseases like heart attack, stroke and several other heart related diseases. Read here to know, “why should you worry about high triglycerides?” Fortunately, a pre-planned exercise schedule can help you a lot to lower the level of triglycerides. Find below some tips, which can help you to prepare the schedule of exercise for triglycerides control.

Aerobic activities which are also known as the cardio exercise offers the best results for the patients suffering from high triglycerides. Have a backup plan for those days when the first choice is not possible. Find activities which you enjoy and add them in those days. You can choose:

• ·         Football
• ·         Cycling
• ·         Rowing
• ·         Basketball
• ·         Swimming
• ·         Tennis
• ·         Zumba
• ·         Kickboxing
• ·         Racquetball
• ·         Brisk Walking
• ·         Jogging (in a steady pace)

At first don’t push yourself too hard or it may cause problems. Start from low-level exercises, but for a good result, try to increase the rate of your exercise day by day. After 1-2 month, add strength training to your exercise schedule. Always remember stronger muscle burns more calories all day, even after your workout sessions. And the burning calories results you in weight loss, which ultimately lowers triglycerides. Take help from a professional when you do intense training. 

If your body doesn’t support hard training, then just follow these steps.

• ·         Get 30 minutes of simple workout every day.
• ·         Take some morning or evening walk or both if possible.
• ·         Stand up and pace whenever while you watch TV or talk someone on the phone.
• ·         Use a pedometer and challenge yourself to keep adding in steps until you get up to 10,000 steps a day, which is sufficient for a daily workout routine.

Once the exercise routine is completed, boost the results with a healthy diet. Want more help to control your high triglycerides, just contact us at TGs Formula. We have plenty of natural solutions for you to control high triglycerides.
