7. Treatment with Diet
Fatty meats and full-fat dairy products contribute to high triglyceride levels. Pork is red meat, but it has fewer calories and fat than beef. High-calorie diets leave excess triglycerides in a person's blood, and commercially baked goods typically contain sugars.
Eating carbs that are rapidly digested, such as white bread, white rice and white pasta, are sure triglyceride boosters. Lean meats, fish and poultry are better choices. Whole grain bread and pasta are healthy substitutes, and fruits, vegetables and lots of water can help.
