HIGH CHOLESTEROL
OK, so you find numbers boring. We'll do them first to get it out of the way. This time it's important, and you should have some vague idea of the reference numbers you health care provider is looking at. So here they are:

1. Total Cholesterol - good means under 200 mg/dL, lower is even better
2. LDL (bad) cholesterol - less than 100 mg/dL is great
3. HDL (good)cholesterol - above 45 mg/dL is women and 35 mg/dL in men is good
4. Triglycerides - below 150 mg/dL is the target

What Is Cholesterol
Cholesterol is important for a healthy body because it's used to build new cells, insulate nerves, and produce hormones. Cholesterol really is a type of fat that is found in foods that come from animal sources, such a chicken and poultry, meats of any kind and even fish. Cholesterol is also made by your own body--how much and what type depends on your genetic make-up. Cholesterol is important for a healthy body because it's used to build new cells, insulate nerves, and produce hormones. Although the experts don't always agree on what cholesterol numbers should be, the most common numbers used is to have your total cholesterol below 200 mg/dL as we listed above.

Good and Bad Cholesterol
Cholesterol travels through the blood with a protein that is called a lipoprotein. There are two lipoproteins that are important in carrying cholesterol--LDL and HDL lipoprotein.

LDL is called "bad cholesterol" and carries cholesterol from your liver to other parts of the body. LDL cholesterol can build up on the walls of the arterial blood vessels, which causes them to "clog" up. When this occurs in the blood vessels supplying blood and oxygen to the heart itself it increases you risk of heart attack. If it clogs up the vessels to the brain it can cause a stroke.

HDL is called "good cholesterol" because it actually helps to clear the LDL cholesterol from the body by picking it up from the blood and carrying it back to the liver for disposal. Increasing your HDL cholesterol level can reduce your risk of clogged blood vessels. .

Triglycerides
Triglycerides are another type of fat in the bloodstream. High triglyceride levels may also increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Drinking excessive alcohol, eating desserts and candy with lots of sugars can raise the triglyceride levels. The goal here is to keep blood triglyceride levels below 150 mg/dl

Keeping The "Numbers" Under Control
Less total fat, increasing fish intake, lowering intake of red meats, drinking alcohol only in moderation, eating more fruits and vegetables, stop smoking and increasing exercise are all important in controlling the levels of fat in the blood. Losing weight also is very important.
