Is a vegan diet good to lower triglycerides. By birgit maine last year i went vegan to reduce my cholesterol levels. Compare levels of triglyceride tg total cholesterol tc low density lipoprotein ldl and high density lipoprotein hdl among vegetarians and omnivores. Talking about a diet with the aim of lower the triglycerides there is not a specific diet but the vegetarian diet and in particular the vegan diet are the most useful diets for bringing down the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. Blood samples were collected from 76 individuals both males and females separated in four different diet groups.
I never had a problem with elevated triglycerides until i went vegan. Also note that similar reductions were seen in both vegetarian groups. Then i had a lipid profile and the cholesterol did come down but the triglycerides went above normal. Some people are concerned that although a vegan diet can lower cholesterol levels it may increase triglyceride levels.
