Suffering Form High Triglycerides
Hello Doctor , My husband(age 35) had his health check up and got his result to be high Triglycerides. The count is 450. His fat and good cholestrol count are low. And his pressure is normal. I would like to get good suggestions about the food and calories that he should take. Thanks much. P.S: we are Indians and we eat veg and non-veg
