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.

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.
