Here is my lipid profile that I received today.
Total Cholesterol 116
Triglycerides 67
HDL 38 (Low as per the doctor. Should be 40 or above)
VLDL 13
LDL 65
My HDL is suprisingly low (surprising because regular exercise is supposed to increase HDL, and I have been training regularly). However my total Cholesterol is also low. Anyting to be concerned about? If so, what can do to improve HDL?
All the ratios (Total to HDL, LDL to HDL, Tryglyceride to HDL) give good numbers.
Thanks,
Abdul
