Hi,
If you don't want to take medication I would advise you to use fish oil supplements.
For lowering triglyceride levels you need to lose weight if you are overweight, don't drink soda, avoid eating much sweets, don't eat sweets and fruits in the evening.
Hope this helps
Wishing you good health

Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for your query.
As per the latest guidelines the level of triglyceride below 500mg% should not be treated by any medicines. There is no proof that such a therapy will be useful. Not even use of omega fatty acids capsule (which are obtained from fish oils) is recommended for the purpose.
The life style modifications which can reduce triglyceride levels are moderation of in take of cereals, cessation of alcohol use, regular exercise, optimal weight. Paradoxically, the excessive use of cereals replacing unsaturated fats increases triglyceride levels. About 25%-30% of your calories should come from unsaturated fats.
