Low LDL but high triglycerides

My blood test shows:

Cholesterol 170
HDL 33
LDL/HDL 2.05
Triglycerides 347

BMI is 22

Not overweight, no diabetes, no kidney disease, drink no alcohol.

Is that unusual to have high triglycerides? How can I reduce them naturally? Niacin, Omega-3s, soy, iodine to improve thyroid function?????

I have bee using Dr. Sinatra's Omega Q Plus for about a year.  My last lipid profile showed trig. less than 100 and good cholesteral at 56. LDL was high at 159 and total a little high at 232.  My doctor was very pleased because my ratio good to bad cholesterol was very good.  Just need to get back to regular walking and that should take care of the rest.  Exercise is very important.

If you want to lower your triglycerides, try taking Carlson Lemon Flavored Fish oil, a tablespoon twice a day, this will help to lower it, and is also good for any inflammation in the veins and arteries. Also, try Niacin, this has been known to help too.
Kamy, I do not know what 2.05 would be if converted, I am used to seeing it the other way.
