This relay team was put together following the tragic death of one of our family members, Jeremy Kunz. He loved to run relays and we are doing this to memorialize him.

cholesterol test
So I got my cholesterol test levels back. I'm not sure what to do. Is 174 a good number?
Is that your total cholesterol? If it is, then yes it is good. THe lower the better but less than 200 is good. less than 150 is even better. mine was 224 about 2 months ago. That total is derived from LDL, HDL, and Triglycerides. It is good to know the values of all of them because you treat each differently. HDL is your good cholesterol and ldl and tri's are bad for you. call me if you have any questions and I'll be glad to help in any way I can.

My last cholesterol check was 215. So if 174 is your total cholesterol is much better than mine.
