Good HDL Cholesterol Ratio From HFL Solutions
Posted on 24. Nov, 2009 by Dr. Sam Robbins in Medications
Compared to LDL the HDL cholesterol should be high. Cholesterol can be reduced when the HDL cholesterol is higher than the LDL. High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) can move through the bloodstream and remove bad cholesterol from blood vessels so it can be carried back to the liver and removed from the body. This raises the HDL cholesterol ratio and is good for the body CholesLo can help achieve this!
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 you have high total cholesterol and when low HDL cholesterol increases the ratio it is undesirable. When high HDL cholesterol and low total cholesterol lowers the ratio it is said to be desirable.
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.
Another ratio is the LDL/HDL ratio. It is a purer ratio than total cholesterol HDL. LDL is a measure of bad cholesterol and HDL is a measure of good cholesterol. The sum of HDL and LDL is total cholesterol. Adding up those values gives you the total cholesterol measurement.
The LDL/HDL ratio is more often acquired due to the fact that the total cholesterol is the easiest and cheapest to get rather than the LDL cholesterol level. LDL/HDL ratios are also more pure and more accurate that the total HDL cholesterol ratio.
Obtaining an LDL of less than 80-100 is vital no matter what the HDL value is, especially if there are risk factors for coronary artery disease, tobacco use, hypertension and diabetes. It is important that a patient with coronary artery disease, history of bypass surgery or stents to have an LDL of less than 80.
You can reduce cholesterol in as little as one week by using CholesLo which is endorsed by doctors and clinically proven. There are several advantages with CholesLo and that is it reduces both cholesterol and triglycerides, increases HDL cholesterol ratio and it can help repair the liver. Your homocysteine levels can be reduced by using CholesLo. High homocysteine levels are closely related to the prediction of heart disease.
