How Can High Triglyceride Levels Be Controlled?
Hi, I'm a 31 year old man, 5'5" and a stocky 175lbs. I apparently have high tryglyceride levels and am wondering about how to lower these. I know I need to stop beer drinking and start working out, but I am a cigar hobbyist (twice a week I smoke a cigar) and am wondering if I should boot that too. Thanks for any advice!

Hi,
No, you need to stop cigar. It won't have a direct effect on your triglycerides. Both high triglycerides and cigar can precipitate cardiac disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
