According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the risk from mercury by eating fish and shellfish is not a health concern for most people. 1  However, certain seafood might contain levels of mercury that may cause harm to an unborn baby (and especially its brain development and nervous system).
Limit Cholesterol and Saturated Fats. Circulating in the bloodstream, triglycerides are a type of stored fat comprised of fat and sugar molecules bound together. The University of Massachusetts Medical School notes that triglycerides are closely connected with âgoodâ blood cholesterol, or HDL. Any food that lowers HDL tends to raise triglycerides. Foods high in cholesterol and saturated fat elevate triglyceride levels, so limit your intake of fatty red meat, poultry skin, butter, lard, high-fat dairy products and shellfish.
Exercise! Exercise helps the muscles use triglycerides for energy. So the more you exercise, the more your triglyceride levels will drop. And, exercise can boost your levels of good HDL (good) cholesterol! Exercise can reduce triglycerides even without weight loss.Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.ruits contain natural sugars, but even these sugars can raise your triglyceride levels. Whole fruit is a better choice than juice because it is high in fiber, will fill you up more, and will raise your triglycerides less. Include at least 2, but not more than 4 servings of fruit per day.
