If you have hypertriglyceridemia, the team at Clinical Research of South Nevada recommends you limit foods high in saturated and trans fats, like red meat, fried foods, and high-fat dairy products. You should also back on sugary foods and beverages, such as soda, candy, baked goods, and refined grains like white bread. Additionally, restrict alcohol as it can significantly increase triglyceride levels. Instead, focus on lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.
