submitted 2 years ago * by MechanicalBayer. I have a 2002 Chrysler Sebring GTC and among many other problems it has had, it currently keeps blowing the ignition fuse. If I replace the ignition fuse and just try to turn the car on it blows it 9.9/10 times. If I replace it and turn the key to the position that turns on all electronics and such, wait 10-15 seconds, then turn it, it usually blows it only 8/10 times.
A William Lee Dubois , Endocrinology Diabetes & Metabolism, answered. Your goal -- the ideal cholesterol numbers -- are a bit of a moving target, but current medical guidelines call for total cholesterol of under 200. Good cholesterol (HDL) should be above 40 for men and above 50 for women. Bad cholesterol (LDL) needs to be as close to 70 as possible. Find out more about this book:
I'm a 45-year-old man. An HDL below 40 mg/dL is a risk factor for heart attack, even if total cholesterol is in the desirable range. One study showed that the risk of dying from heart disease was 38 percent higher in men with HDL under 35, even if their total cholesterol was below 200. Stroke risk in such men was higher, too. If your total and LDL cholesterol are elevated, a high HDL can help protect you somewhat. The higher your HDL, the better. I'm a woman of 55, and my HDL has markedly declined during the last five years.
