[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 490695, member: 6705"] Easy way to remember cholesterol (per my Dad): HDL - "Happy" cholesterol - can make overall cholesterol high, but not really a problem. LDL - "Lousy" cholesterol - something you need to really lower. That might help a LITTLE. Ditto what MWM said about the mono. Hemoglobin is a protein, basically necessary for blood to bond with oxygen. Hematocrit is the ratio of cells to volume of blood. Since you have low red and white, this makes sense. Low red blood cells - are you anemic by chance? Iron rich foods such as spinach and beans are good. OK, that's what I know... [/QUOTE]
