Linked to Cholesterol: How can you lower LDL and maintain OR raise HDL?
Everywhere I look online (e.g. Cleveland Clinic), it says about keeping LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins) to less than 100 mg/dL and where possible raise HDL (High Density Lipoproteins) to 50mg/dL or higher and reaching this is considered to be good. HDL of 60 or more is considered to be optimum and a protection against heart disease.
I cannot find any figures for Very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) but the Cleveland Clinic gives a Non-HDL limit of
Less than 130 mg/dL.
Does that mean that the VLDL level should be lower than 30mg/dL considering the 100mg/dL limt for LDL?
How do you lower the VLDL levels?
