I'm not sure why your HDL is low, except perhaps, that you are consuming less fat in general. However, I think it's a good thing I only dropped two points, compared to everything else. Some changes in lifestyle can have a positive impact in raising HDL levels: aerobic exercise, weight loss cessation Non Smoking Elimination of fatty Dietary trans fatty one to two alcoholic drinks a day Add monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in The Diet, and reducing or eliminating saturated fats. addition of soluble fiber Others suggested dietary lifestyle changes include the use of supplements such as omega 3 fish oil intake limiting fat intake to 30-35% of total calories taking niacin I stress the little Niacin – Make sure you are getting all the proper nutrients. It is also possible to take too many antioxidants, which are known that impair absorbation niacin (I spell that right?) Up to 33%.
