Health Warning: The Trouble With Triglycerides...
Dear Reader,
Consistently high levels of triglycerides are a part of your cholesterol report
that often gets lots of attention. If you eat more calories than your burn, you
body is going to make triglycerides - eating more fats just makes it all the
easier for the body. Your doctor will tell you that normal triglyceride values
are 150
or below, and other numbers are considered:
- Borderline High: 150 - 199 mg/dL
- High: 200 - 499 mg/dL
- Very High - 500 mg/dL or higher
Beyond being trouble for your cardiovascular system, triglycerides appear to have a link to diabetes and another troubling condition known as metabolic syndrome.
But just what are triglycerides, and are they all bad?
We know that fat tissue is made of cells that fill up with triglycerides, and nature intends that we have these substances in our body. "They're the main way evolution gave us to store energy," explains Mitchell Lazar, MD, PhD, director of the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism at the University of Pennsylvania.
"Up until 100 years ago or so, food wasn't nearly as plentiful as it is now, and we burned a lot more calories in physical labor. So it was very important to have the ability to store fuel in an efficient way. Per pound, you get twice as much energy from your stores of fat as you do from the other two substances we can burn for energy - proteins and sugars."
Today, food is more than plentiful, and we eat a whole lot more than our ancestors did. We're not getting the same level of activity either. That means that we all are storing more fat (triglycerides) than we need. Our bodies can't store that extra energy very efficiently and these fat cells also can attract other cells that cause health problems.
"For one thing, fat cells tend to attract inflammatory cells," Lazar continues. "Certain inflammatory cells, called cytokines, compromise the body's ability to deal with sugar and increase your risk of developing diabetes."
Fat, in its triglyceride form, also spills over into other tissues, namely the liver and muscle. This increases your risk of becoming diabetic.
High triglycerides are also often linked to a condition known as metabolic syndrome, and bring low levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL, the good cholesterol). Doctors don't know why HDL protects you from problems like heart disease and diabetes, but are confident that it does.

Health Warning: The Trouble With Triglycerides... Continued...
The combination of all this with LDL (bad) cholesterol leads to more plaque forming
in the arteries of the heart, and this ups your risk even more for heart disease.
If you're worried, the first step to bringing your triglycerides in line is the
hardest - lose the extra weight. If you lost just 10% of your body weight, and
began exercising for 30 minutes three or four times a week, you'd take care of
at least half of the problem. While genetics do have a part to play, the risks
are that much worse by being overweight.
A diet that's low in saturated fats, cholesterol and simple carbs (white bread,
white rice, potatoes and pasta) is the best bet when trying to bring down those
triglyceride numbers. You'll want to choose foods with more fiber, brown rice,
whole grain bread, sweet potatoes and whole wheat pasta. If you're numbers are
very high, your doctor might prescribe medications to help as well as suggesting
diet and lifestyle changes.
To your good health,
