CHOLESTEROL
Cholesterol travels through the blood on proteins called “lipoproteins.” Two types of lipoproteins carry cholesterol throughout the body
LDL (low-density lipoprotein), sometimes called “bad” cholesterol, makes up most of your body’s cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise your risk for heart disease and stroke
HDL (high-density lipoprotein), or “good” cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke
When your body has too much LDL cholesterol, the LDL cholesterol can build up on the walls of your blood vessels. This buildup is called “plaque.” As your blood vessels build up plaque over time, the insides of the vessels narrow. This narrowing blocks blood flow to and from your heart and other organs. When blood flow to the heart is blocked, it can
cause angina (chest pain) or a heart attack
Triglycerides, a type of fat in your blood that your body uses for energy. The combination of high levels of triglycerides with low HDL cholesterol or high LDL cholesterol levels can increase your risk for heart attack and stroke
Total cholesterol, the total amount of cholesterol in your blood based on your HDL, LDL, and triglycerides numbers
Lowering Your Risk
If you have high LDL cholesterol levels, your health care team may recommend cholesterol-lowering medicine and lifestyle changes to lower your risk for heart disease and stroke
If you have low HDL cholesterol levels, talk to your doctor about lifestyle changes that may help raise your levels
What Do the Numbers Mean?
Total cholesterol : Less than 200 mg/dL
LDL (bad) cholesterol : Less than 100 mg/dL
HDL (good) cholesterol : Greater than or equal to 60 mg/dL
Triglycerides : Less than 150 mg/dL
Tips to decrease your cholesterol level
Change your diet
Get more active
Quit smoking
Medications such as STATINS
The takeaway
A variety of lifestyle changes can help you treat high cholesterol levels. This include eating a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. If those changes aren’t enough, speak with your doctor about prescription medications that can help treat high cholesterol
