" The number one killer of Americans, both men and women, is heart disease. According to the American Heart Association, high blood cholesterol is the most significant risk factor. When you go to the doctor and he tells you your cholesterol level, you typically are told your TOTAL blood cholesterol level. How does cholesterol get into your blood? The body's liver makes most of the cholesterol it needs - yes, NEEDS. Some cholesterol is absorbed from the food you eat. The body needs cholesterol to make several important hormones including estrogen and testosterone. In addition, cholesterol is part of the protective covering that surrounds nerves and other cell membranes.Elevated cholesterol levels are associated with heart disease. For a better assessment of your risk of heart disease, it is important to know not only your total cholesterol but also your HDL. The total cholesterol consists of HDL - high-density lipoprotein, LDL - low-density lipoprotein, and VLDL - very low-density lipoprotein. LDL is the bad guy. HDL is the good guy. Why? LDL cholesterol sticks to your the walls of your blood vessels and can cause blockage. VLDL is the precursor to LDL cholesterol. HDL goes around in the blood stream, collects bad cholesterol, and carries it back to the liver where it is broken down.It is desirable to keep total cholesterol levels below 200 mgdl. Values above 240 mgdl are considered significantly elevated. If you know your LDL value, it is desirable to have this type of cholesterol below 130 mgdl. Values for LDL above 160 are considered significantly elevated. Because HDL is the good guy, you want this level high. Values below 35 mgdl are a HIGH risk indicator for heart disease. It is more desirable to have HDL levels close to 50 mgdl or higher.The Total Cholesterol:HDL Ratio is a good indicator of risk. To calculate this important ratio, divide your Total cholesterol value by your HDL value. The HIGHER the ratio, the GREATER the risk of heart disease. For example: Total = 240 mgdl HDL = 30 mgdl Ratio = 24030 = 8.0 *This is a high risk ratio.*IDEAL RATIO FOR MEN IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 4.0.*IDEAL RATIO FOR WOMEN IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 3.5.What is cholesterol?

Foods of plant origin, even those naturally containing fat, DO NOT contain cholesterol. Are certain foods of animal origin higher in cholesterol than others? Yes.Not many people enjoy eating organ meats, such as liver. If you are someone who does, you should know that organ meats are high in cholesterol, 270 mg per 3-ounce serving of liver. While liver is nutritious, if you are at risk for heart disease then you need to limit your intake.Egg yolks have gotten a bad rap in the past. Why? It is because egg yolks are high in cholesterol, 215 mg per yolk. The yolk is definitely nutritious, its purpose is to provide nutrients for a chick embryo to develop. Unfortunately, it contains too much cholesterol to eat it as you please. You should limit the number of yolks you eat to 3-4 or less per week. What about the whites? Eat as many whites as you like.
