My cousin just found out his triglycerides were quite an issue. I'm wondering if anyone else has any helpful hints as to appropriate meals, snacks, etc that may help him in altering his diet. Thanks so much!

there is a med that can be taken to lower triglycerides. It's called Lopid, or Gemfibrozil.
My mother took it for years and it kept her level down..The doctor, should have suggested ways to lower tryglycerides, it's difficult to do and some of us need help.The med works well and will really help if he finds it impossible to do on diet alone.

I realize I seem a bit cavelier over health issues, but considering the shape my body is in, and the pain I deal with every day, I'm really not that concerned with extending my life all that much. I prefer to make the best of the time I have, and that doesn't include sacrificing things I enjoy.
