High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is often called "good cholesterol"
because it crubs the arteries and removes low-density lipoprotein (LDL),
commonly known as "bad cholesterol". The
benefits of HDL urge people who are at risk of
cardiovascular disease to seek for increasing their HDL
levels. More HDL means increasing the scouring power within arteries to
remove plaque and LDL, which is taken to the liver for processing.

Reduce the consumption of alcohol to 1 or 2 drinks a day. The average alcohol consumption promotes the production of HDL,but more than 1 to 2 glasses of wine a day will burden the liver anddecrease the processing of cholesterol, which is transported to the liver by HDL.
3.
Develop exercise plans together with
your doctor, even it is just a brisk walk for 3 times
aweek. The exercise will raise your heart
rate and also boost metabolism - the factor inincreasing HDL production.

Stop smoking. Heart studies have indicated that cardiovascular HDL levels go up when smokers
quit smoking.

their fat content. Consume more fiber in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. Use
more foods which are rich in omega-3 fatty
