Diet tips to help
lower your trig level

Talk to your doctor about how changes to your diet may help lower your trigs to a more healthy level. These changes may also help improve your cholesterol levels:

• If you are overweight, reduce your intake of calories.
  Calories come from fats, proteins, carbohydrates,
  and alcohol.

• Reduce the amount of saturated fat, trans fat,
  and cholesterol you eat.

• Reduce your intake of alcohol. Even small amounts
  of alcohol can change your triglyceride level.

• Try to eat fruits, vegetables, and nonfat or low-fat dairy products more often.

• Substitute monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats –
  found in canola and olive oil, or liquid margarine –
  for saturated fats.

• Substitute fish high in omega-3 fatty acids – such as
  salmon, albacore tuna, and sardines – for meats high
  in saturated fats.

	Talk to your doctor about triglycerides. Your doctor can give you advice about your cholesterol and trigs, diet and exercise, and other possible management options.
