Bad vs. Good Cholesterol

October is Cholesterol Awareness Month 🧬✨

Let’s look into bad vs. good cholesterol!

🔴 LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is often called the "bad" cholesterol because too much of it can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

🟢 HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is known as the "good" cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream and keeps your arteries clear.

It’s all about balance! Keeping your LDL low and HDL high through healthy eating, exercise, and regular check-ups can protect your heart in the long run. ❤️
