Detailed explanation-1: -HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “good” cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Detailed explanation-2: -An LDL count of 100 or less is considered healthy. Your HDL count should be at least 40 (or 50 if you’re female) or greater. Healthy triglyceride counts are 150 or less. Your “numbers, ‘’ or total HDL and LDL cholesterol plus triglycerides, should add up to no more than 200.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two types of lipoproteins carry cholesterol to and from cells. One is low-density lipoprotein, or LDL. The other is high-density lipoprotein, or HDL. A test measures the amount of each type of cholesterol in your blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -A low HDL count is a concern because it is linked to an increased risk of heart disease. The same is true if your “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is high. Together, a low HDL and high LDL place you at increased odds of having a heart attack or stroke.
