If you have been keeping a sharp eye only on your cholesterol level and blood pressure, then there is something else you might to monitor and take care of it; that is your triglycerides level. Triglycerides are a type of fat found in blood. When a high level of triglycerides circulates in our blood, they become a health and heart risk.
Usually
triglycerides provide energy to our body between meals. Calories from
our food that our body doesn’t need immediately are converted into
triglycerides and stored in our fat cells. Our body hormones trigger
these stored triglycerides, when energy is needed between meals. If you
consume more calories than you burn, then it may cause a high
triglycerides level for you.
Why they matter so much?
High
triglycerides contribute to harden our arteries and thicken our artery
walls, which increase the risk of stroke, heart attack and other
life-threatening heart diseases to a very high level. It also includes
the sign of obesity, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, serious
cholesterol levels and high blood sugar. Sometimes high triglycerides
are a sign of low levels of hypothyroidism (thyroid hormones), liver or
kidney disease, poorly controlled type 2 diabetes or rare genetic
disorders. It could also be a side effect of taking medications such as
birth control pills, beta blockers, steroids or diuretics. High level
triglyceride also can worsen nerve damage for people with diabetes.
