In reference to LDL, the HDL (High Density Lipoproteins) should be higher. When the HDL cholesterol is higher than the LDL you can reduce cholesterol. HDL moves through the bloodstream and removes bad cholesterol from blood vessels so it can be carried back to the liver and removed from the body. The HDL cholesterol ratio can be raised with the use of CholesLo.
The total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio is a number that is helpful in predicting an individual's risk of developing atherosclerosis. The number is obtained by dividing the total cholesterol value by the value of the HDL cholesterol. High ratios indicate higher risks of heart attacks low ratios indicate lower risk.
When low HDL cholesterol increases the ratio and you have high total cholesterol it is said to be undesirable. But it is desirable when high HDL cholesterol and low total cholesterol lowers the ratio.
About 4.5 is the average ratio. You want it to be better than average. Therefore, the best ratio would be 2 or 3, less than 4.
LDL/HDL is another ratio. This ratio is a purer ratio than total cholesterol HDL. LDL is a measure of bad cholesterol and HDL is a measure of good cholesterol. The total cholesterol is the sum of HDL and LDL. Add up those values you have the total cholesterol measurement.
The LDL/HDL ratio is more accurate and pure than the total cholesterol HDL ratio. The LDL/HDL is often used because the total cholesterol is easier and less expensive to get then the LDL cholesterol level.
Regardless of the HDL value it is very important that you obtain an LDL of less than 80-100 especially if there are risk factors for coronary artery disease, the use of tobacco, hypertension and diabetes. It is desirable for patients with coronary artery disease, history of bypass surgery or stents to have an LDL of less than 80.
In as little as one week you can reduce cholesterol by using CholesLo. This is endorsed by doctors and clinically proven. ClolesLo has numerous advantages such as it reduces both cholesterol and triglycerides, increases HDL cholesterol ratio and it will help repair the liver. By using CholesLo you can reduce your homocysteine levels. High levels of homocysteine are related to predicting heart disease. - 32002
