What do the numbers mean in relation to Cholesterol levels ?….
Okay, now that you have accurate numbers, what do they mean? Before we discuss the numbers and their meanings, we need to clarify some terminology. Dietary cholesterol means the cholesterol that you eat. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 300 milligram per day. Most food labels in the United States list the cholesterol levels. This is not the case in the UK. The three terms: • blood cholesterol level serum cholesterol level total cholesterol level All three mean the same thing – total cholesterol levels in your body. This is what is measured when you have a cholesterol test.
