In my blood test result, under cholesterol, besides Triglycerides snd HDL, it has LDL, which I know is bad cholesterol, it has in parentheses (calc) and the number 135.4 mg/dl.

There are two major forms of cholesterol: Low-density lipoprotein or LDL, also known as bad cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein or HDL, also called good cholesterol. LDL is the main source of artery-clogging plaque.HDL, on the other hand, works to clear cholesterol from your blood.our total cholesterol level is Borderline High. Your level of bad LDL cholesterol is Borderline High, too. Working to bring down your total cholesterol decreases your LDL cholesterol level. You can do this by exercising more and eating less food with saturated fats.
