Diet Chart For low fat
Last Updated: Dec 20, 2024
About
High triglycerides diet is required to lower the levels of excessive triglycerides, a type of fat, in the body. After eating, the body converts the calories that it doesn’t need into triglycerides and stores them as a future energy source. Triglycerides are integral to a body’s proper functioning however, excessive amounts of them can make one more prone to the risk of heart diseases. Following are some pointers from the high triglycerides diet to reduce the amount of triglycerides in the body.
Limit your sugar intake – Extra sugar gets converted into triglycerides and gets stored in the fat cells increasing the scope of heart diseases. Therefore minimising sugar consumption by avoiding fruit juices, sugar-sweetened beverages and soda and instead replacing them with water is known to reduce triglyceride levels in the blood.
Reduce saturated and trans fats – Saturated and trans fat is the fat commonly found in fast foods, processed foods, packaged foods, and baked foods to increase their shelf life. Avoiding the consumption of aforementioned categories of foods and replacing them with mono and polyunsaturated fats, such as those found in olive oil, avocados and nuts, can significantly lower high triglycerides levels in the body and reduce the chances of heart diseases.
High fibre diet – Fibre is found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Other healthy sources of fibre include nuts, cereals and pulses. A high fibre diet helps in decreasing the absorption of fat and sugar in the small intestine thereby reducing triglyceride levels.
