question: Doctor, I've been reading this and other forums in reference to the normal triglyceride count and what's condidered to be elevated.  I recently completed my physical exam and was adviced to lower my triglyceride count which is at 245.  I weight 195lbs, 5-10 and workout everyday (Active Duty military).  I don't smoke but drink a good wine at least every other weekend.  We consider ourselves a very healthy family since we don't fry anything, we don't eat fast food out and we are all very active.  What could be the cause of this elevated levels?
