    8 Ways to Lower Bad Cholesterol and Triglycerides

    February 2, 2018

    A recent health checkup indicated a jump in my LDL, or bad cholesterol numbers. My husband, recently evaluated due to a new health program at work, was told his triglyceride numbers were too high. What are LDL and triglycerides?

The recommended daily intake of dietary fiber is 25 grams of fiber for women and 38 grams for men.

Over time, a deficiency in dietary fiber can increase the possibility of developing…
