Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
TRIGLYCERIDE
The level is very high –
Very high = 500 or higher / High = 200 to 499 / Borderline = 150 to 199 / Normal = less than 150
A full 14-hour fasting is necessary for proper interpretation
It is generally genetic [inherited /running in family]
Obesity / Diabetes / Thyroid insufficiency / Alcohol / over eating / some drugs like Beta-blockers / Diuretics are a few other causes.
NO alcohol
Eat fewer calories / Limit natural sugars:
Eat small, frequent meals and do not skip meals
Avoid late-night snacking
Add omega-3 fats in your diet
– fatty fish (like mackerel, salmon, sardines, tuna) twice or more in a week
– soy foods, canola oil, flax seeds and walnuts / limit potatoes, yams, beans, corn and peas
Lose weight if you are overweight
Do regular physical activity – at least half an hour a day / 5 days in a week
Because the level is very high, you also need drugs - generally fibrates – like Fenofibrate or Gemfibrozil – is the first choice in such situations, where only Triglycerides are elevated and cholesterol is normal or slightly elevated…
Your doctor will give appropriate prescription…
______________________________________________________
CHOLESTEROL –
HDL is good cholesterol – higher, the better. .. your value is low
The above measures, especially exercise, can raise it….
LDL is bad cholesterol – lower, the better… your values are excellent….

REPEAT THE TESTS IN 6 TO 8 WEEKS
Good luck
God bless you
