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:
Hyphen. Hyphen is a punctuation mark that is smaller than dashes and is always used to fill the space between words such as co-ordination, air-conditioner, and so on. While a merry-go-round is just a kind of swing, it is written with the help of hyphens, to let the readers know that it is actually a compound word.ash and hyphen are different punctuation marks that are in the form of small straight lines, which makes it difficult to differentiate between these two different forms of punctuation marks.
