How do I raise my HDL (good) Cholesterol numbers?

I have a copy of my lab results regarding my Lipid Profile:My HDL, the good cholesterol, was only 43 out of a normal range is 30-90 mg/dLWhat dietary changes can I make to INCREASE the HDL? I have included 1 tsp of uncooked olive oil on my dinner each day.Side note:The LDL, the small, bad, sticky cholesterol molecules, were 128 out of a normal range of 75-100 mg/dLToo high i knowI have an effective low cholesterol low sodium diet that I am on now.

Answer:

43 isn't too badThat's average HDL and does not increase your riskBelow are some ways to raise HDL Aerobic exercise[18] Weight loss Smoking cessation Removing trans fatty acids from the diet One drink of alcohol a day or less yields higher HDL-C levels, more so in women than menHDL transports cholesterol to the liver and cholesterol is known to have a protective effect on the cell membraneIt is likely that this reflects the liver's need for more cholesterol to protect itself from the alcohol.[19] Adding soluble fiber to diet Using supplements such as omega 3 fish oil[20] Limiting intake of saturated fats Also, Fibrate drugs such as Lopid and Tricor and Niacin Over 60 HDL is cardioprotectiveSo, good luck and try the no pharmacological ways firstIn fact, I wouldn't take medication to raise my HDL when it's normalMedications have side effectsLife modifications are usually harmless and will help with more than raising your cholesterol.
