Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern.
Here are some lifestyle modifications that would help you reduce your triglycerides:
- Lose weight. If you’re overweight.
-Reduce the sugar intake and avoid high speed absorbable sugar.
- Consume as much as possible fiber-rich foods, such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
-Limit fructose.
The fructose contained in some foods and even the fructose that's found naturally in fruits can increase triglycerides. Dried fruits, such as raisins and dates, have the most fructose, whereas peaches, cantaloupe, grapefruit, strawberries and bananas are relatively low in fructose.
-A moderately low-fat diet.
-Reduce the quatity of saturated fats, which are found in red meat, butter, cheese, milk, and coconut and palm oils. You can use white meat instead (fish, chicken).
- Use safflower, corn and soybean oils. Olive oil would be excellent.
-Add omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty fish such as salmon, herring, sardines, lake trout and albacore tuna are abundant in omega-3 fatty acids—a type of fat that is actually good for you.
- Exercise. It is recommended 4km of walking, or 30 minutes per day. Exercise is also an important part of keeping your weight under control. Aerobics would also be helpful.
-Finally, you should avoid alcohol intake.
I agree with your doctor's choices on your therapy.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best regards,
Dr. Iliri
