Suggest Remedy For Lowering High Triglyceride Levels

My son has high triglycerides of 810. He is 6 ft 2 and 190 pounds he is 15 years old. I didn t think he ate real bad but he is inactive. His diet is limited with only a few fruits he ll eat a only broccoli and spinach for vegetables. He eats typically almost the same thing every day. Cereal, a turkey sandwich, pasta and chicken at night. His snacks include granola bar, yogurt, low fat cheese stick and sun flower seeds. He has cut out all ice cream and no cookies now for the past month. How long will it take for his levels to go down and how else can I help him?

Hi i did review your concern.
apart from diet regimes I would recommend regular aerobic exercise to decrease central obesity and decrease triglyceride levels.
Also if the triglycerides still remain high you should consult your doctor and start treatment with statins and fibrates to decrease triglycerides,
the fall in triglycerides with regular diet and exercise occurs in 1-2 months.
i hope this helps.
wish you all the best.
thank you for choosing hcm.
