Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a vegetarian and eat a mainly organic diet. I recently got a lipids panel done and my triglycerides are high (mid-200s) and my HDL is low (29). I know high triglycerides will lower HDL. How do I get my triglycerides down considering I don't eat animal fats, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, etc. I do eat a lot of whole grains, but how much is too much?
