Cholesterol

[cjsmith]

I need to find out how to lower my good cholesterol.

(My overall number is way high, and my ratio is off the scale on the "good" end.)

No, it's not facetious, although I can see why it might have come across that way. My overall cholesterol level is 253, which is unacceptable to many health insurance screeners. (It used to be 270, and I thought I had it under control as it gradually dropped to 230 -- but now it's back up.) I don't think I'm at great risk for heart disease despite that number, because the ratio is so good, but I'd still like the overall results to be in an acceptable range.

Ahhhh, that's the final thing I hadn't figured out. Gotcha. :)
