Understanding Cholesterol Types
- LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): The "Bad" cholesterol. High levels lead to plaque buildup in arteries.
- HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein): The "Good" cholesterol. It helps remove LDL from your arteries.
- Triglycerides: A type of fat in your blood. High levels can increase heart disease risk.
What is Cholesterol Ratio?
Calculated by dividing Total Cholesterol by HDL. A lower ratio is better. The American Heart Association recommends a ratio of 5:1 or lower, with 3.5:1 being ideal.
