Hello,
The level of triglycerides and cholesterol is high. I recommend to use a low fat diet which should include fruits and vegetables. I also suggest to take medications such as Atorvastatin daily to lower the lipids.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
