Yellow, white, and a combination of yellow-white skirts work best in our natural lakes. Perch can be very specific about which lure they strike, and at almost any time might choose a lure with a red-white, purple, green, or some other colored skirt.
The National Cholesterol Education Program defines a desirable total cholesterol level as less than 200 mg/dL, and levels for most women stay in the healthy or desirable range until middle-age. But between the ages of 45 and 55, women's average total cholesterol rises to almost 220 mg/dL.
Any cholesterol level under 200 mg/dL is considered a healthy level of cholesterol; however, most cholesterol-lowering treatment decisions are based on HDL and LDL cholesterol levels, not total cholesterol. Generally, healthy levels for LDL would be under 100 mg/dL, but risk factors for heart disease can affect this.
