Know Your Numbers

I once dumped a doctor because he lagged on helping me correct vital numbers as in cholesteral  hdl and ldl.   I thank God for my sister who advised what the medical associations recommend.  HDL is the good cholesterol, and LDL is the bad stuff.  When the physician orders a blood lipid panel, the desired total level is below 200.  They like LDL to be below 70 and HDL around 60, that's md/dl.  Depending on your family history, you may need medicine to help lower it, I did.  And now with salads nearly every day. and fiber added to my yogurt,  I am much better off.
