Be careful with these warning SIGNS! It may be due to very high triglycerides in the blood.
Triglycerides are a type of fat or lipid that we have in the body, and serve as a source of energy. These accumulate in the liver, muscles and adipose tissue.
The normal value of triglycerides in the blood is less than 150mg/dl. It is considered mild or “borderline” increase when it is above 150 to 199. 200 to 499 is a high increase. More than 500 of triglycerides is a serious increase, with these figures they are considered to be very increased.
The problem with having high triglycerides is that it can cause heart problems, insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes.
It can also lead to liver problems like fatty liver, chronic inflammation, atherosclerosis, heart attacks, strokes.
Triglycerides above 500 can cause pancreatitis.
Symptoms of high triglycerides are fatigue, tiredness, dizziness, memory problems, abdominal pain and vomiting in cases of pancreatitis.
There are extreme cases of triglycerides of more than 1000-2000 that cause “more viscous blood”, and can cause “white blood” due to the appearance of the plasma that is full of chylomicron lipoproteins with triglycerides.
Some people may have nodules on the skin of the eyelids, elbow, and hands or tendons called "xanthomas" and "xanthelasmas," which are small growths that form from a buildup of lipids in the skin.
The causes of high blood triglycerides are diet, consuming junk food, refined sugar, white flour and its derivatives. Eat little fiber. Sedentary lifestyle, obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
Thyroid diseases (hypothyroidism), kidney and liver problems, stress can also increase them.
The remedies that increase triglycerides are corticosteroids, contraceptives with estrogen, some diuretics.
There are also genetic diseases that raise blood lipids.
The best way to lower triglycerides is to control chronic disease such as diabetes by losing weight.
There are very powerful foods that lower triglycerides, such as soy and its derivatives such as tofu, raw garlic, fish rich in omega 3 such as salmon.
Quinoa is a seed that helps lower triglycerides.
Avocado, apple, and pear are the best fruits for triglycerides.
There are good and bad fats for triglycerides. The good ones are the ones with omega 3.
The best habits that reduce them are physical exercise, avoiding stress and a sedentary lifestyle, not smoking and not drinking alcohol.
The best remedies for triglycerides and cholesterol are statins like rosuvastatin and atorvastatin, but fibrates like ciprofibrate are also very good for triglycerides.
The omega 3 supplement is very good for reducing triglycerides in the blood and also helps prevent heart disease. It is recommended to take 2 grams of Omega 3 containing "EPA" and "DHA" twice a day, along with meals.
