Your HDL number could be silently impacting your organs. Most people only worry about "bad cholesterol" but low HDL (good cholesterol) is just as dangerous, if not more.
Because HDL acts like your body's internal cleaning crew. It travels through every corner of your system, picks up bad cholesterol, and carries it back to the liver to be broken down and eliminated.
When HDL drops below 40 in men or 50 in women that cleaning crew goes on strike. And the consequences are that they don't just stop at your heart.
Low HDL is linked to
→ Heart attacks
→ Brain disorders & cognitive decline
→ Kidney disease
→ Neuropathy (nerve damage)
→ Arterial blockages
The scariest part? Most people don't feel a thing until serious damage is already done.
Get your lipid profile checked. Know your HDL number. Don't wait for symptoms to show up.
