Elevated triglyceride levels and hyperlipidemia can be managed through dietary modifications and pharmacological treatment. Patients should pay attention to their daily diet, avoiding high-fat foods such as fatty meats and poultry skin. Instead, they should consume more fruits and vegetables. Regular physical exercise is recommended, as it helps reduce body fat and thereby lowers lipid levels. Additionally, supplementation with lipid-lowering agents—such as fish oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids—may provide certain health benefits.
