Triglycerides: Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood that the body uses for energy. While the body needs some triglycerides, high levels can increase the risk of heart disease, especially in women. Lifestyle factors like a high-carbohydrate diet, obesity, and lack of exercise can contribute to high triglyceride levels, so it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to help keep levels in check.
