Understanding your cholesterol levels is essential for maintaining heart health. A healthy total cholesterol level should be below 200 mg/dL, while LDL (“bad”) cholesterol should stay under 100 mg/dL, and HDL (“good”) cholesterol above 40 mg/dL for men and 50 mg/dL for women. Triglycerides should be less than 150 mg/dL. Men often have higher LDL levels, while women typically maintain better HDL until menopause. Regular lipid profile testing, a balanced diet, and physical activity are key to managing cholesterol effectively. Use this chart as a guide to track and protect your cardiovascular wellness.
