                     What is the main cause 
of triglycerides?
Introduction:
 An ester made of glycerol 
and three fatty acids is 
called a triglyceride.
  In humans and other 
vertebrates, triglycerides 
make up the majority of 
body fat, as does vegetable 
fat.
  They are also a major 
component of human skin 
oils and are present in the 
blood to facilitate the 
bidirectional transference of

fat from the liver.
Excess Calories and Unhealthy 
Fats:
  When you consume more 
calories than your body 
burns, especially from 
sugary drinks, processed 
foods, and saturated and 
unhealthy fats, your body 
stores these excess calories 
as triglycerides. 
 This is the most common 
cause of high triglycerides.

conditions like diabetes, 
obesity, hypothyroidism, and 
kidney disease can 
contribute to high

medications, such as 
diuretics, steroids, and some 
beta-blockers, can also 
elevate triglyceride levels.
