I have bad cholesterol level of 117 and good cholesterol as 47.?

I'm just 30 years old. what can help lower my bad cholesterol.
Do anyone here had cholesterol at younge age ?

well normal is 100 for bad and for good it should be above 60 for women.

did your doctor say this is bad? that is pretty good.

if a person has a total cholesterol of 200 mg/dL and an HDL cholesterol level of 50 mg/dL, the ratio would be 4:1. The goal is to keep the ratio below 5:1; the optimum ratio is 3.5:1.

So your ratio is about 3.5 which is excellent.

I was first tested for cholesterol 16 years ago at which time my total cholesterol was about 500. I was tested 6 months ago because I now have diabetes and it was over 800 which is about 4 times the highest amount it should be.

So if you believe what most people say about total cholesterol I should have been dead long ago. However my cholesterol ratio is 3.325 so obviously that is what has kept me alive and well with no apparent circulation problems.

Incidentally, if you have abnormally high triglycerides as I have you work out your total cholesterol by adding your HDL and LDL.

There is nothing you can do to alter the ratio. You can only alter the total by diet, medication and healthy living.

Ideal LDL is 99>

Your LDL is a bit high. Nothing to worry over, though.

HDL should be low, and its good.

As long as your total numbers are under 200, you're good to go.

How about your triglycerides? That shouldn't be high.

Eat less fatty foods, drink plenty of water, exercise(even walking a half hour a day..)

You are not having any cholesterol condition. Some exercise, and wise nutrition is all you need to keep your levels withing reasonable limits.

I wish I did.
