Hello,

The report indicates that you have Hypertriglyceridemia. This value is very high. Triglycerides are responsible cardiovascular diseases. You need to avoid fatty foods. Regular exercise for 45 mins a day. Increase fibre in your diet like vegetables, greens and fruits. You need to take medication also for reducing the triglycerides. Consult your doctor.
