High levels of triglycerides can increase the risk of heart disease. Triglycerides are the fat found in our blood and work to provide the body with energy. Extra triglycerides become stored for a future date when they are required. Numerous research has suggested that high levels of triglycerides increases the risk of heart disease.
Triglycerides form from the finished product of digestion and come from the fat and carbohydrates which we consume to turn into energy for the body. Triglyceride levels are tested with a lipid panel which is a similar test to how cholesterol levels are checked.
