I don't drink any alcohol at all and my triglicerides are high so there must be

other ways besides sugar and alcohol.  The sugar could be part of it.  But

even when sugar was down at 6.4 my triglicerides were still high.   Some of

that has to do with low HDL (I think that is the good kind that helps).  My LDL

or bad cholesterol is fine and total cholesterol is also fine.  It is just the

triglicerides that are high.  They tell me it is from animal fat and genes and

lack of exercise.  Even when I was eating mostly chicken it was still high. 

When I was on Craig food, it was high.  I figure I have to exercise -

that is it.

I actually had watched it.. ironically when I was diagnosised with the Type IV

Hyperlipidemia I had to give up sugar (triglycerides is a by product of sugar

and alcohol)... at one point they had me thinking I was a closet drinker and I

was in denial....LOL. I even had to think today when was the last time I had a

glass of wine.. it was Mar 6 (husband's birthday).. prior to that Aug 7, 2011

(my birthday)... and before that it was quite a bit in 2010 when my mother lived

with us.. I had to have about a glass a night to calm down.. and didn't have a

problem with elevated triglycerides

I don't drink soda (except the occassional ginger ale when I have an upset

stomach which I did have Friday, Saturday but had blood work on Thursday)...

said " Sure causes all diseases and causes cancerous tumors to grow'. Now he

didn't talk about sprouting but he did mention that we all should be eating NO

PROCESSED FOOD at all!!

Exercise is hugely important for health and almost trumps anything else in terms

of preventing disease, weight control, longevity, etc. We really don't have

much of a choice about doing it - it's virtually mandatory if we want to be

healthy. Diet ties into it as well, but exercise is vital.

I haven't done much as Ihave knees that are bone and bone and hurt and several

back discs that are compressed and have arthritis.  When it hurts and get

exhausted it is so much easier to not do it.  Yet to exercise will eventually

help those areas.  Taking off the weight puts less stress on them too.  Just

is hard to do and especially when have to go do it yourself.
