A Normal Cholesterol Range and How to Achieve it Naturally

Understanding what a normal cholesterol range is can be confusing and it is only a general guideline as we are all different. However, it is good to try to stay within these ranges and here are some natural ways that can help you.

A normal cholesterol range should look like this.

Total Cholesterol: 200mg/dl

LDL: Less than 100mg/dl

HDL: At least 40mg/dl

Triglycerides: Less than 150mg/dl

As a guide, you are thought to be at risk from heart disease if your total levels exceed 240mg/dl, depending on how much HDL you have.

While LDL is regarded as the bad one as too much of it clogs up your arteries, HDL helps to remove excess LDL and transport it back to the liver.

A good ratio to maintain is 3:1 or 2:1 LDL to HDL as a guide. So it is important to ensure you get both these levels in your test results and to not just focus on your overall cholesterol levels.

The other level to get is your triglyceride one as these are also fats related to cholesterol and need to be checked regularly too.

If you are over thirty, it is recommended that you get a test done every five years to monitor it properly.

There are many things you can do to bring your levels back within the normal cholesterol range. Exercising for 30 minutes a day helps to lower LDL and raise HDL.

Trying to eat less saturated fat like fried food, butter, margarine and pastries while increasing the amount of fruit, veggies, wholegrains and oatmeal will also help.

Fatty fish like salmon and tuna are one of the best natural substances for lowering your triglyceride fats as well as lowering the LDL cholesterol. A daily fish oil supplement is the best route due to the toxins fresh fish contain today.

A natural cholesterol supplement can also have a significant impact as 80% of your cholesterol comes from your liver. These help to lower to production of LDL, dissolve particles in the blood and reduce absorption into the gut to keep you healthy.

If you follow these tips they will help you keep within the normal cholesterol range and lower your risk of heart disease and a stroke.
