Elevated triglycerides promote atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Life Extension considers optimal fasting triglyceride levels to be well below 100mg/dL. Fish oil, which includes the omega‑3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, lowers triglycerides by increasing their removal from the blood‑stream and decreasing their release from the liver. Omega‑3 fatty acids can reduce triglycerides by up to 50% in
people with high levels. They also lower triglycerides in people with moderately elevated levels. One meta‑analyses found that EPA and DHA intake was associated with a 35% reduced risk of fatal heart attacks. Research has shown that drinking sodas is one of the worst culprits of high triglycerides.
