    Пришло письмо от стаховой компании, возможно кому-то данная информация покажется полезной.

    Cholesterol numbers you should know.

    Cholesterol is a fat-like substance found in the blood. It is a normal part of blood, but too much cholesterol can block the flow of blood to the heart or brain. Ask your doctor what your cholesterol goals should be. Your goals will depend on your risk factors for heart disease and stroke. If your numbers are too high, with your doctor's help, you can lower your cholesterol and prevent a heart attack or stroke.

    Put your numbers to work for you! Enter your numbers into your health assessment to see how your cholesterol and other numbers could be affecting your health.

    Cholesterol numbers you should know

    There are different kinds of fat found in the blood.

    * LDL cholesterol is the "bad" cholesterol. Too much LDL cholesterol can block the arteries.
    * HDL cholesterol is the "good" cholesterol. It helps keep the arteries from blocking.
    * Triglycerides are another kind of fat in the blood. They can also raise your risk of heart disease.
