Elevated triglycerides and uric acid

Male , 38 years, 186 cms , 91 kgs. Total cholestrol is 180 mg/dL. Triglycerides 201 mg/dL. Vldl 40 mg/dL. Uric acid 7.2 mg/dL. Gamma GT 18 U/L. HBAlc 5.7. Sgot 24 U/L . Sgpt 30 U/L. I have fatty liver grade 1. I am not doing any physical exercise nor dieting. My sgpt and sgot were previously 70 and 50. Total cholestrol was earlier 210. Only thing that I did is increased water intake to 2 liters daily from .75 L daily. My belly size also reduced by 40%. I never felt that water suppressed my appetite instead it increases appetite which is why i dont reduce food. I avoid sugar. Does water intake improves metabolism . What is your recommendation?.

Perfect numbers morning but worst later

Hi! I have reactive high bp for years now- taking telmisartan 40 mg- my best bp readings are in the morning- stress free clear mind but as day progresses the bp shoots n stays around 135/85 till evening n heart rate can rise high esp if i walk around - yesterday it was 125/130 while doing normal house work Doctor not giving any extra med since it will lower the true baseline of morning- Will exercise n weight loss help to reduce this!
