Optimal Triglyceride Levels

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

What’s the best way to make sure your triglyceride levels are within normal limits?

It seems that international boards have not agreed upon an ultimate conclusion. Nonetheless, it is generally considered that optimal levels for the average individual are between 70 and 100 mg/dL or 0.8 and 1.1 mmol/L. It may come as a surprise, but people over 70 are expected to reach normal levels of up to 163 mg/dL. European standards regard levels of up to 150.1 mg/dL as normal range, Americans are stricter by 0.1 mg/dL, while Canadians are far more permissive: the normal triglyceride levels range between 50 to 177.2 mg/dL (2.0 mmol/L).

Everything is relative, after all, and you should always confront your results with the doctor’s interpretation!

Diary Procts do not help Reflux

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

As with most medical cures, research has shown that a diet using milk and other diary products does not help with the symptoms of acid reflux disease. If you do trying using milk, you might actually find that you do feel better, for a short period of time.

But, as with anything you put into your stomach, acid must be created to digest it. This is not to say that you can never drink milk, but it not a cure for acid reflex problems.

The best way to deal with acid reflux problems is by modifying your diet.
