Every day doctors tell their patients that they have high cholesterol, and will then blurt out a whole bunch of numbers, usually associated with LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. However, many of these patients are not aware of what these numbers mean. Optimal LDL "bad" cholesterol levels should be less than 100. Levels over 160 are considered high, and efforts should be made to lower this number. HDL "good" cholesterol, which protects against heart attacks, should be 60 or higher, but no lower than 40 in men, and 50 in women. Triglycerides levels should be 150 or lower. Total cholesterol should be maintained at levels no higher than 200.

Many people suffer from high cholesterol. A cholesterol lowering diet will serve to lower your LDL, or bad cholesterol, numbers while actually causing your HDL, or good cholesterol numbers to increase. Sources of natural cholesterol, such as eggs, are healthy and should not be eliminated from a cholesterol lowering diet. They should, however, be eaten in moderation. Packaged foods and processed meats should be limited or avoided altogether. These types of foods are extremely high in cholesterol as well as sodium and fat. The body needs 1,000 milligrams of cholesterol per day and is able to produce 700 milligrams on its own. This leaves only 300 milligrams needed from diet.
