![New Research Indicates How Cholesterol Types Impact Heart Disease Risk](https://shopland.cc/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/t6543fdf2eaeef.jpg)
Cholesterol is one of the primary factors analyzed when researching heart disease — HDL (healthy) cholesterol to indicate protection, and LDL (lousy) cholesterol to indicate a higher risk. A recent review of previous studies shows that it’s actually more complex than knowing your numbers.
People who may be at risk for heart disease should ask their doctors for a blood test measuring for LDL and HDL cholesterol, non–HDL-cholesterol, and cholesterol particle size. By learning your cholesterol details, you can work with your doctor to create a plan to lower your chances of getting the disease.
But what else can you do to mitigate your risk of getting heart disease?

Remember when you were a small child, and you ate when you were hungry and stopped when you were full?

That’s the core message of intuitive eating, a method that dates back to 1995 but has recently gained momentum in mainstream healthy living culture.
