Triglyceride: Normal level- 1.69 mmol/L. Your triglyceride level is high. High triglyceride level is a risk factor for acute pancreatitis (inflammation of pancreas).Changes in lifestyle habits are the main therapy for hypertriglyceridemia. These are the changes you need to make:If you're overweight, cut down on calories to reach your ideal body weight. This includes all sources of calories, from fats, proteins, carbohydrates and alcohol. Reduce the saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol content of your diet. Reduce your intake of alcohol considerably. Even small amounts of alcohol can lead to large changes in plasma triglyceride levels. Be physically active for at least 30 minutes on most or all days each week. People with high triglycerides may need to substitute monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as those found in canola oil, olive oil or liquid margarine for saturated fats. Substituting carbohydrates for fats may raise triglyceride levels and may decrease HDL ("good") cholesterol in some people. Substitute fish high in omega-3 fatty acids instead of meats high in saturated fat like hamburger. Fatty fish like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Cholesterol: Normal level- < 5 mmol/L. You come under high risk category.Adopt DASH diet (Mediterranean diet). Eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet, which includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish, vegetables, poultry, and egg whites. Use monounsaturated oils such as olive, peanut, and canola oils or polyunsaturated oils such as corn, safflower, soy, sunflower, cottonseed, and soybean oils. Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.You may reduce high blood cholesterol and triglycerides by diet, exercise and statin drugs.

It's not good.Triglycerides are the main form of fat in foods. After eating, our liver will process them. It is normal that our blood contains some levels of triglycerides. However, if you consume excess calories regardless from any source - carbohydrates, fats or protein, our body will transform the excess calories into triglycerides for storage as body fat, so the level for then shouldn't be any higher than 1.7.Chloesteral at 7.4 must be them measuring the total cholesterol rather than breaking it down into good stuff and bad stuff and in that case your 7.4 is a bit high, normal is top at 5.5.To avoid going on drugs you need to cut down the saturated fat in your diet, that is top priority.Once you eat that one the liver turns it into cholesterol.If you haven't seen your doctor since you got these results I'd go back and ask for a bit of advice on what you can or cannot do to change things.We are all different and all have different risk factors, like I could say you need to exercise to lose weight but you might already be slim so its better that someone who knows you gives most advice.Start by getting rid of some saturated fat eat more fruit veggies etc. All the boring Wups...sorry all the not boring healthy stuff with the occasional treat of the nasty stuff full of fat just to make life worth living:-))Google triglyceride and cholesterol and read as much or as little as you want about them.
