Normal hdl level

What's the goal for a normal hdl level? How can you achieve this goal? Why is it important?

As you may probably know HDL is the good cholesterol, i.e. that type of lipoprotein which removes the cholesterol from your body.

There is a balance for all the things in our life. The same happens for HDL cholesterol levels. That means, normal level for hdl should always be in your lipid profile records.

The following chart will give you the idea of what's the normal hdl levels you should aim for.

Desirable
Borderline High

High
HDL cholesterol("good" cholesterol)
50 and higher

40 - 49
less than 40


This chart tells you the risk level for heart disease according to your HDL cholesterol levels. So, a normal hdl cholesterol level is considered 50 or higher figures. This will keep your safe for any heart disease or other problems.

Actually, this is the figure you should aim for.

If your hdl levels are between 40 and 49, then you're still in the safe line. That is, you have low probabilities to develop heart disease.

However, your low risk level remains still a potential risk for heart disease. It depends on how much afford you put in trying to raise hdl cholesterol levels.

Meanwhile, if your figures are less than 40 mg/dl (35 for men and 40 for women), you must consider yourself as a high risk population for developing heart disease. And the problems will spring out.

On the other hand, if you have normal ldl cholesterol levels and a level of 35 of hdl cholesterol, you still may consider yourself to have a potential high risk.

This means that you should not sleep in peace until you raise your hdl levels, even though you don't have any problem. The chances are, your problems will spring out later.

How can you achieve normal level of hdl?

Several simple steps can help you. Your first one should be through therapeutic lifestyle changes and by following the right diet strategy.

If you fail to raise hdl cholesterol, your physician will be constrained to prescribe the medications. That will cost your body, their side effect will have negative influence on it.

However, there is an other natural way to get normal hdl level with no single side effects. I'm talking about natural formula you may find in various supplement which can help raise hdl levels, and lower ldl cholesterol at the same time.
