What are the recommended levels for HDL and LDL?

The recommended levels for HDL (high-density lipoprotein) should be 60 mg/dL or higher, as this is considered protective against Heart disease. For LDL (low-density lipoprotein), a level below 100 mg/dL is optimal; levels between 100-129 mg/dL are near optimal, while levels above 160 mg/dL are considered high. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on individual health factors.
