I got my results from the doctor and she says that my HDL is to low and that my LDL is a little high. I'm 25 years old; does anyone have any suggestions on foods to eat, to raise and lower the respective types?
Here are my levels
HDL 38
LDL 132
CHOL 192
Being as young as you are, your doctor will most likely not put you on medication with cholesterol numbers like that…unless you have risk factors like diabetes or heart disease. They are only mildly abnormal. Tuna and other types of fish will lower the LDL and increase the HDL. However, the best way to get those results is regular exercise. If you eat fish 3 or more times per week and exercise, you should see an improvement in your cholesterol pannel.
