I went to the doctor's for an appointment yesterday and found out I have higher bad cholesterol. It's not really high, but it's outside the suggested amount. I am 22 years old and thought I ate pretty healthy, so I'm curious what may be causing it.
I'm working on improving my diet, but are there any other causes of high cholesterol?

Hi Susan,
Thank you, this is extremely helpful! This is great background information on HDL and LDL. I have started adjusting my diet on low cholesterol foods and am working out more often- even if it's just going on short walks during work breaks. I'll be sure to ask my family about our health history too.
Thanks!
