HDL and LDL cholesterol. Maybe you’re one of the many people who have trouble remembering which is the good one and which is the bad.
There’s a simple mnemonic I learned years ago:
HDL — H is for Healthy
LDL — L is for Lethal
Bet you never forget again.
cool but what does the D stand for and that other L
H and L don’t really stand for Healthy and Lethal. That’s just an easy way to remember which is good and which is bad. (They actually stand for high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein.)
