1. Garlic
Garlic is one of the best remedies to reduce triglycerides. A 2006 study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that including garlic in your diet helps lower triglycerides, blood glucose and cholesterol levels.
Raw garlic has a more profound effect than boiled garlic in controlling these parameters because fresh garlic has lipid-lowering activity.
- Eat 2 to 3 raw garlic cloves on an empty stomach daily for a few months. You can also, include fresh garlic in your salad dressings.
- Alternatively, take garlic supplements after consulting your doctor.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar also helps reduce triglycerides as well as cholesterol levels. A 2008 study published in the Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences found that apple cider vinegar helped improve serum lipid profile in normal as well as diabetic rats by decreasing triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins (LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol) and raising HDL levels.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a glass of water.
- Mix in a little raw honey.
- Drink this solution twice daily for at least a couple of months.
You can also mix apple cider vinegar with fresh orange, apple, grape or other fruit juices.
