6. Treatment with Lifestyle Changes
How people live contributes to triglyceride levels in the body. For example, high alcohol consumption and smoking are known to increase levels. Moderating alcohol to one glass of red wine per day or abstaining entirely can positively influence triglyceride production.3Triglycerides: A big fat problem.’ Harvard Medical School, www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter/article/triglycerides-a-big-fat-problem.
Another lifestyle factor is activity. People who live sedentary lives and don't move very much are more likely to experience high triglycerides. Moderate exercise, such as walking or bicycling, for thirty minutes a day may help lower both cholesterol and triglycerides.1‘Triglycerides: Why do they Matter?’ Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/triglycerides/art-20048186.
