Avoid fried foods, red meat, full fat dairy, and bakery items. Add oats, flax seeds, walnuts, green leafy vegetables, and fruits. Use olive oil or mustard oil in moderation. Include 20 to 30 mins of walking daily. Take Vitamin D rich foods (eggs, fortified milk) and sun exposure.

Question

I recently had my lipid profile done, and my triglycerides are 193 mg/dL, while the normal limit is less than 150 mg/dL. My weight and BMI are normal, but I delivered a baby 8 months ago, consumed a lot of desi ghee, and currently have minimal physical activity. Could you please advise how I can reduce my triglycerides? Do I need medication, or can it be managed with diet and lifestyle changes?
