Research Notes on Lowering Triglycerides


The best way to lower triglycerides is to make healthy lifestyle changes. Avoiding high calorie foods, alcohol, saturated fats, and trans fats can dramatically lower your triglyceride levels. Getting thirty minutes of daily exercise will also help lower triglycerides because it will increase good cholesterol while lowering bad cholesterol. In the event that making better lifestyle choices is not enough, there are cholesterol-lowering medications that can be prescribed to help lower triglycerides.1

Fast Facts:

  • Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol can cause a spike in triglyceride levels that can lead to pancreatitis.2
  • Eating more omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce triglycerides.2
  • Untreated diabetes can cause high triglyceride levels.3
  • Niacin is a B vitamin that is known for lowering triglycerides.4
