What is "triglyceride"?
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood and are the main form of stored fat in the body. They are composed of three fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule. After eating, the body converts any calories it does not need immediately into triglycerides, which are stored in fat cells and released for energy between meals. High levels of triglycerides can increase the risk of heart disease and are often associated with other conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol. Maintaining healthy triglyceride levels involves eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding excessive consumption of sugary and fatty foods.
