Keeping track of your cholesterol levels is essential for maintaining a healthy body. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when handling the data. For example, did you know that there are two types of cholesterol? LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is often referred to as ‘bad’ cholesterol, and HDL (high-density lipoprotein), is also known as ‘good’. The normal levels of cholesterol can depend on factors like gender and age, but the average is anywhere between 125 mg/dL to 200 mg/dL. A reading of 240 mg/dL and adobe is considered high and requires your attention. It’s important to have regular check-ups of your cholesterol levels, in order to stay in range.
