I think it means it needs to be lower. If you give someone with high cholesterol a level to low to achieve, they give up. It is surprising how much a difference small diet changes can make. Depends on your individual health problems, what level they expect. I'm diabetic, so cardiologist expects around 3. Just one step at a time, don't stress as that will also impact your health. Take care.
