Now that you bring it up.

I just had my cholesterol tested in the US (I mention the nation because I don't know if different countries use different methods...)

My total cholesterol was 155. A good number.

But the LDL was 80.
And the HDL was 75.

My understanding is that we want the LDLs low and the HDLs high so what should I think about my scores that are evenly split?

Should I work harder at trying to increase my HDL? Or work harder at lowering the LDL? Or nothing at all...?

Thanks.
