I have good cholesterol numbers, but I'd like to be preventive. I was thinking about taking some cinnamon and curcumin daily (just with my food, as a spice) and maybe some guggul. Furthermore, I'm slightly overweight, so I'll lose some weight, and exercise more. My goal is to keep my LDL in check, and to further raise my HDL, as an "insurance policy" for the future. (keeping my blood glucose in check is a secondary goal)
Can my LDL get too low? Or is it the overall cholesterol that matters, LDL can drop as long as HDL is higher? Is there a problem if my HDL gets higher than my LDL?
By the way, my most recent numbers are:
Total cholesterol: 195
HDL: 77
LDL: 100
Trigl.: 90
But I want to be preventive, to ensure that it stays that way...
By the way, I will start to eat a few eggs a day from now on (because eggs have a lot of good in them, and I don't believe all the anti-egg propaganda ), and I already use olive oil for all my baking.

Well, logic can dictate that what you have been doing so far has contributed to the numbers you have now, so keep on doing what you're doing and they *should* stay that way.
cholesterol too low?
