High cholesterol isn’t something you can feel or notice, but if you have it you’re more likely to have a heart attack or stroke. The good news is there are lots of things you can do to help lower your cholesterol so your risk is lower. Unless your doctor tells you something different, your total cholesterol should be below 200.
Lifestyle changes can get your cholesterol levels moving in a better direction. The most powerful combination is to eat less saturated fat, avoid trans fat, and get to a healthy weight.
