Here are the easy-to-adopt non-pharmaceutical strategies that you can put to work to keep triglycerides at 60 mg/dl or less, a level that helps you achieve superior metabolic health. 

Triglycerides are a biomarker packed with useful information about health and keeping it at this low level stacks the odds in favor of avoiding heart disease, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, cognitive impairment and other conditions.

While the world focuses on what I call the "kindergarten version" of heart disease causation, i.e., cholesterol, they ignore the REAL cause: small dense LDL particles and the entire constellation of abnormal metabolic phenomena that accompany it. 

Once you gain a better understanding of how coronary heart disease (heart attack, sudden cardiac death, need for heart procedures) is caused, you are on your way to taking more effective action in stopping it.

Of the four values provided on any standard cholesterol panel, the triglyceride value reveals the most about your health. Ironically, it is often the value most commonly ignored or dismissed, or simply treated using the wrong agents. 

Here is what you can expect if you keep triglycerides 60 mg/dl or less.

You've seen the click-bait headlines: "Take this one supplement and dissolve plaque," or "Eat this one food every day to dissolve plaque." None of this true, any more than reducing cholesterol "dissolves plaque."

There is a logical and scientifically validated approach to gain control over coronary atherosclerotic plaque and thereby risk for heart attack and related cardiovascular events. It begins with identifying, then eradicating, small dense LDL particles. Think of small dense LDL particles as the first domino in a long line of dominoes that will fall just by knocking down the first domino.

Many people have had an echocardiogram, CT heart scan, or other imaging test of their heart or chest during which an enlarged ascending thoracic aorta was identified--but you are almost NEVER told. Yet an enlarged aorta is a diseased aorta that puts you at risk over time of aneurysm rupture, dissection, both of which are catastrophic, and "mini-strokes" from fragmentation of atheroclerotic plaque. 

Here is how to know whether this applies to you and, if it does, what you can do about it.

The recent Canadian wildfires that have caused a thick blanket of smoke to cover the upper Midwest and Northeast is, as reported by the media, a threat to people with lung conditions. But it also adds to risk for heart disease, rarely or never mentioned and therefore often dismissed. 

But smoke inhalation is indeed a cardiovascular risk factor. Here is some of the most compelling evidence for this phenomenon.

Normally, you should have numerous species of microbes inhabiting your gastrointestinal tract and other body locations that produce bacteriocins, i.e., natural antibiotics that keep unhealthy microbial species from taking over. Unfortunately, modern antibiotics, while necessary at times, have killed off species that were previously protecting you by producing bacteriocins. This allows the emergence of health problems mostly unique to modern people including weight gain, type 2 diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety and many others. 

Rebuilding a microbiome that includes species that produce bacteriocins is an important factor in reclaiming control over health disrupted by exposure to modern antibiotics.
