All about : Foods to avoid for high triglycerides











To understand what foods to avoid for high triglycerides, firstly, it is important to understand what triglycerides and why high triglyceride levels are dangerous to your health.
Triglycerides are a form of fat in the body, blood and foodstuffs. Our bodies use it for energy, so necessary for good health, but when triglycerides are high increases the risk of heart disease and may indicate that you have metabolic syndrome increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
When not using the calories you eat, your body converts them into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells, which regulate hormones and release. This power supply is needed between meals. When we eat more calories than we need tactics can lead to elevated triglycerides.
The National Cholesterol Education has set guidelines for triglyceride levels. These levels are based on fasting triglyceride levels in plasma:

    
* Normal: Less than 150 mg / dL
    
* Limit high: 150 - 199 mg / dL
    
* High: 200 - 499 mg / dL
    
* Very high: 500 mg / dL or higher
Since triglycerides are the body, blood and food for people diagnosed with food rich in triglycerides, which contain triglycerides or converted to triglycerides easily be avoided. This includes foods that contain saturated fat and trans fat. It's easy to see why these foods are a problem, but there is more to it. Sugar and grains can also increase triglycerides
This includes most of cakes as everything from cookies to ice cream to pastries. simple sugars can be found on ingredient labels under names such as:

    
* Corn Syrup
    
Fructose *
    
* Glucose
    
* High fructose corn syrup
    
* Honey
    
Maltose;
    
* Molasses
When grain is refined by reducing sugar and consumed very quickly metabolized into simple sugars and can increase levels of triglycerides and lower good cholesterol in some people. Refined grain products include things made with white flour and processed foods. When high sugar foods are eaten almost immediately convert to triglycerides. Alcohol is a source of empty calories. The body normally converts the effect of glucose to triglycerides. Just one drink can drastically increase the levels of triglycerides
The list of products rich in saturated fats are enormous. This section of the food provided a foundation for what foods to avoid:

    
* Marble cuts of beef (including hamburger)
    
* Pork including bacon, sausage and ribs
    
* Fried Chicken
