Just had my cholesteral test done last week. I am a vegetarian (ovo lacto). I think I eat pretty well.... so I was surprised at how high it is. my numbers are:
total 240 (I thought that meant these totals should add up to 240???)
hdl = 69
ldl = 167
trig = 132
I understand that my hdl is good at that number -- but I really don't understand what it all means. Can anyone explain it to me in simple terms? I'm 50, 5'6" and 144 pounds..... :confused:
