There are two types of cholesterol: "good" and "bad" (LDL). Reducing the amount of "bad" cholesterol in your body is vital to heart health and will reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. In contrast; appropriate levels of "good" cholesterol are necessary to maintain healthy. The American Heart Association recommends that you maintain a total fat consumption of 25% to 35%, saturated fat less than 7%, and trans fat less than 1%. With supplementation, a proper diet, and exercise you will be able to control excess "bad" cholesterol in your blood
