Description
Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood. When we eat, our body converts any calories it doesn't need to use right away into triglycerides. The triglycerides are stored in the fat cells, which are later released by hormones for energy between meals. According to Dr. Ritika Samaddar, Dietician at Max healthcare, "If you are consuming too much sugar in your diet, there is a possibility that your triglyceride levels can be high. Your body has the tendency to convert the excess sugar into triglycerides and then store them as fat".
