What You Need To Know About Type 2 Diabetes
|
The question of how to lower bad cholesterol has been asked for decades. I can remember first hearing about bad cholesterol LDL back when I was a teenager. Bad cholesterol is a waxy substance made by your liver. Diet also contributes to the formation of this substance. Stress has also been associated with cholesterol production from the liver as well. LDL which stands for low density lipoprotein is the worst of the lipids. As measured by the health care industry, LDL cholesterol should be measured in your blood at no more than 0-99 mg/dl which stands for milligrams per deciliter.
How to determine cholesterol levels When your primary care physician gives you your annual checkup he or she will order a blood work up as part of your physical. This is standard operating procedure since other than scans and ultra sounds the blood tells just about everything about you physical condition. When your doctor determines how to lower your bad cholesterol it will be based on the blood work that is called a Lipid Panel. The Lipid Panel will show the three types of cholesterol that the body makes. The three legs to the stool are LDL, HDL or good cholesterol referred to as High Density Lipoproteins and Triglycerides. The three combined should yield a total panel of 199 mg/dl or less according to the NIH or National Institutes of Health. HDL, the good cholesterol should 39mg/dl or better. This number is better for your body the higher it gets. My own doctor told me of a patient who had an HDL in excess of 190mg/dl. I can only imagine what she did for a living. Obviously no stress and she must have been on a very special diet.
