Cholesterol Awareness

Cholesterol can be broken down into different forms including HDL (high density lipoproteins) and LDL (low density lipoproteins). LDL's are the "bad" cholesterol that contributes to heart disease. HDL's are a "good" type of cholesterol. It helps to keep the "bad" cholesterol away from the heart.

Total Cholesterol	< 200 mg/dl
HDL's	< 60 mg/dl
LDL's	< 100 mg/dl
Triglycerides	< 150 mg/dl
