That's awesome, great going :thumbsup

Continue taking olive oil and almonds. And if you like Green tea , drink it up atleast once a day(without sugar and no fat or 2% milk). It helps with reducing bad cholestrol as well. Good Luck :thumbsup

Hello Friends,
I recently went to have my annual check-up and my triglycerides are a bit high.209 where the normal is below 150 mg/dL. My other readings
total cholesterol : 146 mg/DL(normal is 100-199).
HDL Cholesterol : 39 mg/DL (>39 is good)
LDL Cholesterol : 65 mg/DL (0-99)

Blood sugar 66 mg/DL (normal 65-99).

So doc said either u can take medicine or try exercise and diet and check again in 3 months.I said I will try the diet first. She also said blood sugar is borderline for low blood sugar, so dont cut down any more sugar.Now I have been very conscious about food and always use very less oil in cooking, avoid junk foods . We are a non veg family but don't eat any red meat. Eat chicken once per week and fish twice per week.I do exercise for 30 minutes 3 or 4 times per week, mostly walking/jogging.

Now can you guys suggest a good exercise and diet plan to reduce the triglycerides . I would really like to avoid taking medicines.

Thanks in advance.
