CHOLESTEROL LEVELS AND HEART HEALTH

LDL Cholesterol: High levels can lead to plaque buildup, increasing heart disease risk. HDL Cholesterol: ""Good"" cholesterol helps remove LDL from arteries, protecting heart health. Total Cholesterol: Balance between LDL and HDL is crucial for cardiovascular health.

Triglycerides: Elevated triglycerides can increase the risk of heart disease. Diet Impact: Saturated fats raise LDL, while healthy fats boost HDL levels. Exercise: Regular physical activity improves HDL and lowers triglycerides. Smoking: Lowers HDL levels, increasing heart disease risk. Medications: Statins and other drugs can help control cholesterol levels.
