Any food we consume contains calories. Calories provide the body with energy to perform everyday tasks. However, calories are not used immediately after consumption. Extra calories from fats, carbohydrates, and sugars are converted into triglycerides. In simple terms, triglycerides are the fats or lipid cells that contain the extra calories we consume. These are used to provide the body with energy whenever it is needed.

According to ���ϳԹ���, an increased level of triglycerides is a condition known as Hypertriglyceridemia. It indicates that the calorie burn is not adequately proportional to the amount of calories taken, resulting in unhealthy accumulation of fats.   

What Is The Ayurvedic Approach Towards The Treatment Of Hypertriglyceridemia?

According to Ayurveda, any bodily abnormality takes place due to imbalances in the body’s energies known as doshas. Excess of triglycerides, that is, an unhealthy amount of fat accumulated in the body, also results from these imbalances only.

Ayurvedic Causes Of High Triglyceride Levels

Hypertriglyceridemia is mainly associated with the aggravation of the kapha dosha, which is responsible for the body’s structure and fluids. An aggravation in this dosha leads to a weaker metabolism and, therefore, accumulation of fats. A weak digestive fire (agni) is also associated with dysfunctional metabolism, which leads to the accumulation of ama (toxins) in the body.

Other Common Causes And Factors Affecting Triglycerides

The causes of high triglyceride levels are very basic. They hugely involve the daily lifestyle routine of the individual and their eating habits. Some modern causes for this condition can be:

• Excess calorie intake can increase accumulated fats because you would be eating more calories than you can burn.
• Diets high in sugar, simple carbs, and unhealthy fats contribute to the generation of excess fats and, therefore, increased levels of triglycerides.
• Alcohol consumption also increases triglyceride levels significantly.
• A Sedentary lifestyle means that there is a lack of physical activity. That means that your body’s calories are not getting burned adequately, which would again lead to high triglyceride levels.
• Lack of sleep or sleep deprivation can cause high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes, conditions that increase the triglyceride levels.  

Symptoms

Common symptoms of triglycerides include:

• Abdominal pain and pancreatitis. This means that high levels of triglycerides can cause inflammation in the pancreas. 
• This can lead to severe, sudden pain in the abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and fever.
• Formation of xanthomas, meaning formation of yellowish, fatty bumps, can be found under the skin, particularly around the eyes, but can also be found around the elbows, knees, and buttocks.
• Lipemia retinalis: When triglyceride levels reach 1000 mg/dL, blood vessels in the retina may appear creamy white or reddish, making the vision blurry. 
• High heart rate is also a common symptom of this condition.

If you see any of these symptoms and observe that they keep getting worse, contact our health care center, ���ϳԹ���, as soon as possible. There, you will get the treatment of a holistic nature, promising lasting recovery.

Known Ayurvedic Medicines

Some commonly used medicines that are formulated based on the knowledge of the shastras of Ayurveda that can be used to cure high levels of triglycerides are:

• Ashwagandha: It helps in stabilizing the body systems and in reducing stress.
• Shilajit: Known for its heart-related benefits, it helps in lowering cholesterol levels and improving cardiovascular wellness.
• Guggul: Similar to Shilajit, Guggul also contributes to heart health and cardiovascular strength.
• Triphala (Bibhitaki, Haritaki, and Amalaki): These three help in improving metabolism and aid digestion, therefore giving strength to the digestive fire (agni).

Lifestyle And Dietary Factors

Both of these affect the levels of triglycerides. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with good eating habits is necessary to cure oneself of this condition.   

Some lifestyle changes that will help reduce the level are:

• Exercise: When you exercise regularly, the excess calories are also burned, therefore not stored inside the body.
• Managing a healthy Weight: When calories don’t get burned, the weight increases, which is directly related to increased levels of triglycerides.  This is why it is essential to maintain a healthy weight by balancing the intake and burning of calories.  
• Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Be active to keep the body functioning.
• Quitting smoking: Smoking also contributes to increasing the levels of triglycerides in the body. Therefore, quitting would improve the condition as well as improve overall health.

Some Dietary tips are:

• Sugary foods like beverages and candies should be consumed very sparingly.
• Refined grains like white rice and white bread should not be consumed daily.
• Fast foods like French fries, fried chicken should be avoided.
•  Avoid consuming alcohol regularly.

• Consider consuming a banana smoothie or oatmeal topped with fresh berries in the morning.
• Lunch should include salads and whole-grain bread along with lentil soup.
• Dinner can include options such as brown rice paired with vegetable curry or baked fish.
• Sugar-based foods and refined carbs should be very limited.
• Opt for healthier, unsaturated fats. And avoid saturated fats, which are often present in processed foods.

When To Consult An Ayurvedic Expert?

Expert consultation should be carried out as soon as you observe several symptoms, though mostly, mild cases of increased triglycerides don’t show many symptoms. You should immediately contact ���ϳԹ��� healthcare center and book a free consultation if you are facing symptoms like abdominal pain (pancreatitis), nausea, and yellowish fatty deposits under the skin.

Conclusion

In simple terms, triglycerides are just excess fatty cells in the bloodstream, which are caused when there is an excess of calories in the body. The condition can give rise to various serious health complications, such as a high heart rate and pancreatitis. It arises due to unhealthy eating habits as well as lifestyle habits.
