1. Saturated fats increase blood cholesterol levels.
2. Mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats may help to reduce blood cholesterol levels and to improve the balance between LDLs (low-density lipoproteins) and HDLs (high-density lipoproteins).
TC ,or total serum cholesterol, is a quantitative analysis of cholesterol in the patients blood. The type of cholesterol is as important as the quantity of cholesterol.
Total blood cholesterol is determined by adding your HDL (good cholesterol) and your LDL (bad cholesterol) together and then dividing your triglyceride number by 5 and adding that number to your HDL and LDL number which will give you the total cholesterol.
CHOL in a blood test typically stands for total cholesterol, which is a measure of the total amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both HDL (good) cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol. High levels of total cholesterol can increase your risk for heart disease and other health issues.
Exercise reduce a lot of risk factors, but it isn't the unique part of a fitness program. You have to get a blood test containing the levels of the total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HDL cholesterol, and glucose's level. Check your blood pressure before starting any program of exercise. The desirable cholesterol ratio is 4x1, which means that if you have a total cholesterol of 200 mg/dl, the HDL cholesterol must be 50 mg/dl, 200/50=4. The main risk factor is to have your blood pressure increased being sedentary, which may lead you to a serious events.

Cholesterol is measured in three different units. Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. Triglycerides are also taken into account and all measurements are in milligrams per deciliter of blood.
I have the same question and wish that someone had answered this for you!
A total cholesterol level of 290 mg/dL is considered high and may increase the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular issues. It's important to evaluate the breakdown of cholesterol, including LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol) levels, as well as other risk factors such as blood pressure, smoking, and family history. Consulting with a healthcare professional is essential for personalized assessment and management. Lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medication may be recommended to lower cholesterol levels.
Anything above a total cholesterol of 200 is problematic. Over 240 mg/dl is defined as a high value.
