How low should your cholesterol level be?

Life, Dr Nithi Mahanonda, Published on 19/08/2014

» Many patients have asked me whether low cholesterol is good. This is a difficult question to answer because cholesterol is important for some cells and hormones, so if its low, it could be unhealthy. However, we also know that if the cholesterol level is high, it can lead to hardened and narrowed arteries, which could cause heart disease and paralysis.
