Triglycerides and heart health

When you eat too many carbs for your body to use as fuel, the excess is converted to triglycerides. These float through your blood until they can be deposited as fat in your adipose tissue. Sometimes they clog your arteries.
Excess triglycerides have become a focus for heart-health monitoring. If your triglycerides are above 150, try cutting out sugar, starches, fake fats, trans fats, and hydrogenated fats for better heart health.
