Cholesterol Categories
Cholesterol is basically measured in 3 categories: HDL or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and total cholesterol. In general, the LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol levels should be kept in check to avoid some cardiovascular issues, while having higher HDL cholesterol levels would provide added protection against strokes and heart attacks. However, it can be challenging for many people to ensure a good balance. Regular health checks are necessary to make better lifestyle changes and optimize your cholesterol levels. [2]
