Hi Nermine911,
Here are the recommendations of the American Heart Association:
Total cholesterol less than 200
HDL cholesterol at least > 40, ideally > 60
LDL cholesterol at least less than 130, ideally less than 100
Triglycerides less than 150
Your HDL is great - well done! You would benefit from lowering your LDL levels. Here are a few links to posts you may want to review:
