Your blood contains a specific kind of fat called triglycerides. Having high levels of triglycerides may raise your risk of developing cardiovascular disease and stroke, despite the fact that triglycerides play a crucial role in the creation of energy. Regrettably, up to twenty-five percent of individuals in the United States have elevated triglyceride levels. The good news is that by changing just a few foods—such as increasing fiber and healthy fats and cutting added sugar and alcohol—you may help reduce your triglyceride levels.

This mystery food is a plant-based source of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Read the article to see what we are talking about.
