Dr. Li Qinghui
Elevated triglyceride levels may result from an unhealthy diet and can lead to atherosclerosis and other complications. Hypertriglyceridemia is often caused by overeating or binge eating, particularly frequent consumption of spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods, which can raise triglyceride levels and increase blood viscosity. Without effective treatment, this condition may also predispose individuals to cerebrovascular diseases. Intravenous infusion may be used to help dilute the blood.
