yes taking fish oil, having a healthy diet and exercise will help reduce triglycerides and cholesterol. Emphasize on taking a health meal as below:
. emphasis on fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains,there would
be adequate fiber to lower cholesterol and triglycerides.
. Cut back on pastries and high-calorie bakery products
(e.g., muffins, doughnus).
. Select milk and dairy products that are either fat free or
low fat.
. Reduce salt intake
. Minimize your intake of beverages and foods with added sugars.
. Avoid alcohol and smoking
. Practice exercise on daily basis
