I'm starting to get concerned about my cholesterol levels, even though my overall cholesterol is 185, which doesn't seem too bad. But my triglycerides are on the higher side, and I'm wondering if this is something to worry about. Are there any natural ways to bring those levels down, or should I be considering medication? Would love to hear your thoughts.

To help reduce triglyceride levels naturally, you can try incorporating lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet low in sugar and refined carbohydrates, increasing physical activity, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements can also help lower triglyceride levels. If lifestyle changes are not enough to lower triglyceride levels, medication may be recommended. One common medication used to lower triglycerides is Fenofibrate. The usual dosage for Fenofibrate is 48 to 145 mg per day, as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
