Avocados and kiwi are two fruits in particular that have been found to lower triglyceride levels. Triglycerides are fats that are stored when you don't burn as many calories as you consume. In addition to eating more fruits and vegetables, burning more calories by exercising will also lower your triglyceride levels.
All foods should be taken in moderation. During your diet to lower triglycerides be sure to avoid sweets and to control the amount of carbohydrates you eat (starchy foods such as flour, bread, potatoes). Finally remember to have fun. You have a choice.
