This trickie Newbie is a runaway truck 

An acceptable level of HDL cholesterol is at least 40mg/dL.

Optimal HDL levels are higher than 60.

An optimal level of LDL cholesterol is under 100 mg/dL.

To find your cholesterol ratio, you divide your total cholesterol number by your HDL

For example :

If your total cholesterol number is 200 and your good cholesterol is 50 :

your total cholesterol ratio is 4:1.

Is There an Ideal Cholesterol Ratio ?

According to the American Heart Association  you should keep your cholesterol ratio at or below:

5:1.

The ideal cholesterol ratio is about 3.5 : 1  :-*
