Best Answer

Triglyceride levels have a direct affect on the health of your heart, and when they are too high your risk of Heart disease, Diabetes and stroke increases. A simple blood test can reveal your triglyceride level and whether they are within a healthy range.

The optimal triglyceride level is between 100 to 150 mg/dL. Triglyceride levels outside of this range are considered dangerously high and should be lowered as soon as possible. However, prescription drugs are not recommended and are rarely prescribed to reach the optimal level. Triglycerides respond best to lifestyle changes, such as dieting, increased physical activity and weight reduction.
