Very high triglycerides can be caused by poor diet and not enough exercise. You may also have inherited very high triglycerides from a parent. Your doctor will tell you how to manage your triglycerides. If your weight is higher than what is considered healthy, losing even 5 pounds may help lower your triglycerides.
WORD likes it un-hyphenated but I don't. Long-term should be hyphenated but longtime should not be hyphenated, at least until a few more decades pass and the grammatical rules for the use of hyphens either relax or fade away. Here is part of an erudite commentary on this subject:
The hyphen (â) is a punctuation mark used to join words and to separate syllables of a single word.The use of hyphens is called hyphenation. The hyphen should not be confused with dashes (â , â , â , â), which are longer and have different uses, or with the minus sign (â), which is also longer in some contexts.As an orthographic concept, the hyphen is a single entity.he hyphen should not be confused with dashes (â , â , â , â), which are longer and have different uses, or with the minus sign (â), which is also longer in some contexts.
