where can i find a good diet and rescipes to help combat high chloresterol and high triglycerides?

Q.

A. triglycerides are a tough one as your body can produce this when eating a large amount of fruit. weird but true. Taking an Omega 3 supplement helps with triglycerides too.
Also, generally any low fat, high fiber diet will help but adding oat bran to your diet is suppose to really work better so that means adding oatmeal or Cheerios as a breakfast food is a good thing.
Be aware that your body produces a certain amount of cholesterol itself and for some people, no matter what they eliminate from their diet, they still have high cholesterol counts and those folks need to take a medication for that.

what is triglyceride in the blood?

Q. Is there a direct relationship between heart stroke and blood triglyceride levels?

A. This Article will help you out in understanding :

Triglycerides" is the chemical name for fat. Chemically, triglycerides have a three-carbon backbone (glycerol) to which are attached fatty acids, which are strings of carbon and hydrogen atoms, most of which will eventually be oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, producing energy in the process. When not being actively oxidized or metabolized, triglycerides are stored in adipose, or fatty tissue, for oxidation at a later time. High levels of triglycerides in the blood have been associated with increased risk for heart attacks and strokes. Triglycerides may be increased by heredity, abdominal obesity, resistance to insulin, diabetes, and certain medications. They may be decreased by weight loss, control of glucose in diabetes, decreased simple sugar intake in the diet, and increased activity.

wat is the process of of triglyceride absorption after digestion, from the small intestine?

Q.

A. Triglycerides are broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol by pancreatic lipase. They then enter the enterocytes in the small intestine where they are re-esterified into triglycerides and packaged into chylomicrons (which are composed of proteins, phospholipids, triglycerides, etc). The chylomicrons enter the lymphatic system via the lacteal. The chylomicrons are broken down in the lymph vessels by lipoprotein lipase and the fats are taken up by tissues that need it.

my triglycerides are high what does this mean?

Q. I don't even know what they are but the dr told me the levels were a bit high, I can't even spell it

A. Triglycerides are fatty acids, there are 'good' ones and 'bad' ones, your doc was probably referring to the 'bad' ones. You will find 'good' fatty acids in oily fish and avocados, these ones are very good for you. You will find 'bad' ones in animal fat including dairy products.

I recommend making these simple changes to your diet in order to limit your intake of 'bad' fatty acids;

Cut the fat off your meat before you cook it,
Buy the lean/heart smart meats,
Avoid deep fried food,
Swap butter for margarine,
Use oil when cooking instead of butter,
Cut back on soft cheeses,

You may also like to serve yourself slightly less meat and more vege to compensate.

Hope this helps
