How to reduce triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol?

Dear Fabio,
In our body, triglycerides serve as a large fat storage with an important role in energy reserve, but their concentration in the blood should not exceed 150 mg/dl. A valid aid to reduce triglycerides can come from omega-3 EPA and DHA. The best product to supplement your diet is Meaquor 1000, a supplement with a high concentration of EPA and DHA omega-3 specifically designed to lower blood triglyceride levels. To achieve this effect, it is necessary to take 2 grams per day of EPA and DHA, a dosage attainable with 2 or 3 capsules per day of Meaquor 1000, to be taken with a main meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner).

Regarding the increase of HDL levels, the so-called "good" cholesterol, unfortunately, no product alone can produce significant effects: HDL concentration is a parameter that is difficult to modify, but it may be sufficient not to smoke, maintain an appropriate weight, and do at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily. A good HDL value should be at least above 40 mg/dl.

Additionally, to keep triglycerides and overall lipid profile under control, I remind you to reduce the consumption of simple sugars (sweets, dried fruit), limit the intake of foods high in saturated fats such as dairy and red meat, and avoid hydrogenated fats found in snacks and baked goods, etc.
