What does ir measure?
- Total Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a type of lipid found in blood and part of the total cholesterol level. When you consume more calories compared to the ones you burn, the excess is converted into triglycerides and stored as fat.
- Cholesterol
Cholesterol helps your body to make hormones, vitamin D and bile to digest food. Although, if levels are too high it can increase the risk of heart disease.
- LDL Cholesterol
Commonly called bad cholesterol, some LDL is essential to your health. In high levels, LDL can cause fatty deposits to accumulate inside artery walls and potentially lead to atherosclerosis and heart disease.
- HDL Cholesterol
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is produced in your liver and is part of total cholesterol. It helps to remove bad cholesterol from the bloodstream and send it back to the liver.
- HDL % of Total Cholesterol
The HDL% of total cholesterol refers to the amount of good cholesterol in the body. Higher the percentage, the better.
Total cholesterol: under 200
LDL cholesterol: under 100
Triglycerides: under 150
HDL cholesterol: over 60
