What do you have to eat in order to lower your bad cholesterol, and raising your good cholesterol?

By admin · Sunday, June 28th, 2009


You can greatly impact your cholesterol reading with lifestyle changes, not medication. If you would like to raise your HDL levels (the "good" cholesterol), avoid refined carbohydrates (white flour stuff, high sugar sweets) and be sure to work-out. This link summarizes the findings of a Georgetown University exercise physiologist who studied HDL and its association with diet and exercise.

Also, maintain a healthy weight, try substituting soy protein for animal protein, and make sure to include Omega 3's in your diet (food sources of Omega 3's include fish oil and flax seed). By following these few guidelines, it is likely you will feel great and have good results on your next blood test.

I have heard that garlic is good for that, and fish like trout, whitefish, but not shell fish.

Here's what Harvard Health says:
