Message: <blockquote data-quote="mpe" data-source="post: 511353" data-attributes="member: 60109">Since "triglycerides" are liver synthesized fats. You'd up them by having your liver make more of them. The two most common reasons for hepatic lipogenesis are to get rid of excess sugars (from dietary carbohydrates) or because the diet dosn't provided sufficient amounts of needed fatty acids. (As with sugars polyunsaturated fatty acids tend only to be useful as "fuel" for the human body. )So in order to increase this reading you'd need to eat a LFHC diet, the kind of diet everyone has been encouraged to eat for the last 30 odd years. If you are already eating such a diet then you probably need to see a liver specialist PDQ. (Satins can cause liver damage.)If on the other hand you are not eating sugars to excess and eating sufficient fat (mostly saturated and monounsaturated), which would be a typical LCHF diet, then there may be nothing to worry about.</blockquote>
