Omega-3 fatty acids can help lower triglyceride levels significantly. This fat is found in fish, such as salmon, sardines, mackerel, tuna, and tilapia. Try to eat fatty fish at least twice a week. Omega-3 fatty acids are also found in walnuts, flax seeds, canola oil, and foods made with soy. Fish oil or omega-3 supplements are also available and may be an excellent addition to your care regimen. A diet high in vegetables and fruits can help lower triglyceride levels.
Palm, coconut oil, and rendered fats such as lard are also fats that will raise triglyceride levels. However, substituting monounsaturated fats like olive oil and walnut oil can lower them. 3. Grapes. Eating candy and other sugary foods fuel triglyceride levels, but eating naturally sweet grapes can lower them. Grapes contain pterostilbene, a compound that acts similarly to ciprofibrate, a commercial product that lowers triglycerides, according to the USDA.
