Triglycerides
Triglycerides are fats. They consist of glycerol and three fatty acids.
Using a Lipid Profile blood test, the amount of triglycerides in your body can be measured. "Levels higher than 200 mg/dL are associated with an increase in the risk of heart attack, stroke and death." (clevelandclinic.org)
Exercise and diet are commonly used to maintain healthy triglyceride levels.
