Fish oil reduced triglycerides tremendously. I do eat plant-based fats through avocados which are good for you. I also live with a man whose body is addicted to sugar and carbs. He continues to fill the pantry with his addiction. I can be very good, but I can be bad. I love recipes in the Blue Zone for Americans book. I still eat chicken and have increased fish more. I have an autoimmune disease that seems to be hampering my exercise. Gluteal Tendinopathy and tendonitis throughout my hips and knees keep exercising to a minimum. Agree sugars and bad carbs instead of complex carbohydrates might help but it is also related to autoimmune. It flares. So, far my calcium scores are below 25 but advanced lipids are high. At 68, there are some things you can do and some things your body's genetics control.

If your lipids are high consider cutting down on the plant based fats. There happens to be a lot of them in vegetarian convenient foods. I read the labels. I have to be lactose and gluten free and when I go to places like Trader Joe’s, they have a lot of what seems to be healthy products, but they’re actually very high in fat content!
I also would suggest that exercise isn’t going to interfere with auto immune disease and flares. There’s something else going on. Taking a gentle walk for 30 minutes every day and deep, breathing yoga and making sure you’re doing your laundry standing up and putting away your dishes and reaching May be hard when you first start, but you do need to use your muscles or you lose them. A physical therapist can help you find a happy medium. I’ve suffered with things like gluteal tendinitis and my whole adult life and a program for stretching is really helpful. Maybe try ZAZZEE tart cherry capsules and see if you have any gout going on. They’re $20 on Amazon. I had a lot of inflammatory issues And although that’s different than an autoimmune disease they react similarly. Good luck oh and every once in a while, I’m a bad girl too, but I just feel like crap after I eat bad so I keep it to a minimum 😊
