What is Triglyceride?

It is a type of (lipid) fat in your blood. The body converts the calories you consume and do not need to be used immediately into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells. Triglycerides stored in the body are used in situations such as long-term fasting, high-energy sports, and hormone production.
In short, triglycerides are stored in fat cells to be used in necessary situations in the body, and when necessary, they are converted into energy and fulfill their duties in the body.
