Every day doctors tell their patients that they have high cholesterol, and will then blurt out a whole bunch of numbers, usually associated with LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. However, many of these patients are not aware of what these numbers mean. Optimal LDL "bad" cholesterol levels should be less than 100. Levels over 160 are considered high, and efforts should be made to lower this number. HDL "good" cholesterol, which protects against heart attacks, should be 60 or higher, but no lower than 40 in men, and 50 in women. Triglycerides levels should be 150 or lower. Total cholesterol should be maintained at levels no higher than 200.
