High Cholestrol
Recently I got my tests done and the lipid profile was not normal. The results are as follows:
Cholesterol - Total 228.0 mg/dL
Triglycerides 217.0 mg/d
Cholesterol - HDL 31.0 mg/dl
Non HDL Cholesterol 197 mg/dl
Cholesterol - LDL 153.6 mg/d
VLDL -Very Low Density Lipoprotein 43.4 mg/dl
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio 7.4
LDL / HDL Cholesterol Ratio 5
HDL / LDL Cholesterol Ratio 0.2
Please suggest the possible ways to optimize cholesterol. I also want to know the primary reasons for this problem.
