What is Cholesterol?
You
already know that some cholesterol is good and some is bad. But did you
know that there are clear guidelines for cholesterol levels for average
Americans and newly established guidelines for high-risk patients?
Cholesterol is:
- Produced
by the liver and other organs and also furnished in the diet through
such food as meats, poultry, fish and dairy products.
- Required by the body to insulate nerves, make cell membranes, and produce certain hormones.
- Carried through the body by lipoproteins in the blood.
Two Types of Cholesterol
| The Good | The Bad |
|---|
| HDL
(High Density Lipoprotein) transports cholesterol from the body's
tissues to the liver and other sites, where it may be broken down and
excreted by the body. HDL cholesterol is commonly known as "good"
cholesterol. | LDL
(Low Density Lipoprotein) transports cholesterol from the liver to the
rest of the body. LDL cholesterol is commonly known as "bad"
cholesterol. |
How to Control Your Cholesterol
Many Americans have succeeded in lowering their LDL "bad" cholesterol through
lifestyle changes.
Eating right,
exercising, and
relaxingare
some of the basic lifestyle changes you can make to improve your
overall health. Your doctor can test your cholesterol level, or you can
test yourself with a kit you can purchase at your pharmacy.
The
National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) identifies LDL cholesterol
as the primary target of cholesterol management. Clinical research has
shown that
elevated LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, is
the primary cause of coronary heart disease.

Every year 1.2 million Americans have a new or repeat heart attack. A
new set of guidelines has been released that specifically targets these
high risk Americans. The new NCEP guideline determines that high-risk
heart patients should lower their LDL "bad" cholesterol to a rock bottom
70. The previous NCEP guideline was 100.

| Optimal |
| 100-129 | Near optimal/above optimal |
| 130-159 | Borderline high |
| 160-189 | High |
