HDL Cholesterol: The “Good” Cholesterol
August 8th, 2008    Subscribe To Our FeedWe know cholesterol is an important factor in staying healthy. There have been plenty of studies and reports over the past ten years that have linked high cholesterol numbers to an increased risk of heart and cardiovascular disease. But did you know that not all cholesterol needs to be low? In addition to the “bad” cholesterol that can stick to the walls of the arteries and cause plaque to develop, there is also “good” cholesterol that can help the body to rid itself of these deposits by helping to eliminate them through the liver.

Anything lower than 40 is considered poor, and should be a cause for concern.
