A Brief Look At The Cholesterol Ratio

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: James Tien

From the Greek chole, which means bile, and stereos, meaning solids comes the word. A brief look at the cholesterol ratio is better understood when considering these levels. Levels are represented in milligrams per deciliter which is one tenth of a liter or 3.3 fluid ounces. An acceptable level of 200 mg/dL is the normal for most people. However, doctors may desire a lower level based on the patients medical history.

The HDL and LDL are two kinds with equally important purpose. HDL (high density lipoprotein) is good . In women the range preferred is 50 mg/dL to 60 mg/dL. As for men, 40 mg/dL to 50 mg/dL is normally expected. Persons with elevated triglycerides usually have lower range of HDL. Remaining active and exercising daily for 30 minutes or more and not smoking can raise these levels.

Low-density lipoproteins or LDL should not exceed 100 mg/dL. The risk of coronary disease can be minimized if levels remain low.

Calculating these ratios depends on the favored method of the primary care physician or technician. Some use the ratio of calculating the HDL level by dividing it into the total cholesterol. A level of 150 mg/dL and an HDL level of 50 would be a 5-to-1 ratio.

Using the absolute numbers of the total blood cholesterol as well as the HDL is another method. Some physicians prefer this method as it aids in determining the course of treatment for the patient.

It is a substance which travels through the bloodstream but cannot mix with water. The body enlists the function of the HDL, relying on it to move the packets of substance out of the bloodstream and carrying it out of the body and the liver.

The bad or LDL as it travels leaves deposits on the wall of vessels. This plaque can result in vessel openings being narrowed. The risk of heart disease is greater in this instance.

By any means do not consider cholesterol to be a dangerous thing. It is vital in the production of vitamin D, bile acid from the liver and hormones. It also maintains the cells of mammals in keeping them structurally sound.

Maintaining a healthy diet with low saturated fat intake and additional fiber may help. An exercise program is also a benefit in reducing high levels. Consulting with a primary care physician for a brief look at the cholesterol ratios and levels can be insightful.
