In reference to LDL, the HDL (High Density Lipoproteins) should be higher. When the HDL cholesterol is higher than the LDL you can reduce cholesterol. HDL moves through the bloodstream and removes bad cholesterol from blood vessels so it can be carried back to the liver and removed from the body. The HDL cholesterol ratio can be raised with the use of CholesLo.

You can predict someone’s risk of developing atherosclerosis with the number of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio. The number is acquired by dividing the total cholesterol value by the value of the HDL cholesterol. You will find that high ratios indicate higher risks of heart attacks where as low ratios indicate lower risk.

It is undesirable when high total cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol increases the ratio. However, it is desirable when high HDL cholesterol and low total cholesterol lowers the ratio.

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 total cholesterol HDL ratio is not as accurate or pure as the LDL/HDL ratio. The LDL/HDL is most often acquired because the total cholesterol is easier and cheaper to get than the LDL cholesterol level.

No matter what the HDL value is it is important to obtain an LDL of less than 80-100, especially if there are risk factors for coronary artery disease, tobacco use, hypertension and diabetes. For patients with a history of bypass surgery, coronary artery disease or stents it is vital for them to have an LDL of less than 80.

CholesLo is endorsed by doctors and clinically proven to reduce cholesterol in as little as one week! Among the advantages of CholesLo, it reduces both cholesterol and triglycerides, increases HDL cholesterol ratio, and can help repair the liver. CholesLo also reduces homocysteine levels. High homocysteine levels are very closely related to predicting heart disease.
