Remember to Check Your Triglycerides

Next time you get your cholesterol checked, ask your doctor to check your triglycerides as well. Like high LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, a high amount of triglycerides in the blood can increase your risk for a heart attack. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that one in five Americans have a high triglycerides level, yet few are taking medication to lower it.
