Bad Cholesterol

On: Why Doesn't Exercise Lead To Weight Loss?

Just ignore your weight and be healthy.

LDL cholesterol is the so-called bad cholesterol because it deposits on the inside of your vessels to make plaques. Elevated levels of LDL increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. Your doctor will determine your LDL goal based on your number of risk factors and medical history. An optimal level of LDL is less than 100.
