HDL cholesterol: How to boost your 'good' cholesterol

Your cholesterol levels are an important measure of heart health. For HDL cholesterol, or "good" cholesterol, higher levels are better.

By Mayo Clinic Staff

 

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is known as the "good" cholesterol because it helps remove other forms of cholesterol from your bloodstream. Higher levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance that's found in all of your cells and has several useful functions, including helping to build your body's cells. It's carried through your bloodstream attached to proteins. These proteins are called lipoproteins.

 

• Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) can eventually build up within the walls of your blood vessels and narrow the passageways. Sometimes a clot can form and get stuck in the narrowed space, causing a heart attack or stroke. This is why LDL cholesterol is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol.
• High-density lipoprotein cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is often referred to as "good" cholesterol. HDL picks up excess cholesterol in your blood and takes it back to your liver where it's broken down and removed from your body.

If you have high LDL and low HDL cholesterol levels, your doctor will probably focus on lowering your LDL cholesterol first. Medications known as statins — such as atorvastatin (Lipitor) and simvastatin (Zocor) — are the most common treatment for high LDL cholesterol.

What are optimal levels of HDL cholesterol?

 

Cholesterol levels are measured in milligrams (mg) of cholesterol per deciliter (dL) of blood or millimoles (mmol) per liter (L). When it comes to HDL cholesterol, higher numbers are better.

	At risk	Desirable
Men	Less than 40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L)	60 mg/dL (1.6 mmol/L) or above
Women	Less than 50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L)	60 mg/dL (1.6 mmol/L) or above

To some extent, people who have naturally higher levels of HDL cholesterol are at lower risk of heart attack and stroke. It's less clear whether that same benefit holds true for people who increase their HDL levels with medications.

 

Lifestyle changes known to increase HDL, such as moving more, quitting smoking or improving your diet, have been shown to lower the risk of heart attacks, However, medications that specifically increase HDL levels have failed to reduce the rate of heart attacks.

Oddly enough, people who naturally have extremely high HDL levels — above 100 mg/dL (2.5mmol/L) — appear to be at higher risk of heart disease. This may be caused by genetic factors.

Make your lifestyle count

 

HDL levels are typically lower in people who have metabolic syndrome — a cluster of conditions that include obesity, increased blood pressure and high blood sugar levels.

Besides helping you lose weight, increased physical activity can lower your triglycerides, the most common type of fat in your body, while increasing your HDL levels. Benefits can be seen with as little as 60 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise a week.

 

In terms of diet, try to avoid trans fats, as they can increase LDL cholesterol and lower HDL cholesterol levels. Foods prepared with shortening, such as cakes and cookies, often contain trans fats, as do most fried foods and some margarines. Limit saturated fat, found in meats and full-fat dairy products, as well.

If you smoke, find a way to quit. Smoking lowers HDL levels, especially in women, and increases LDL levels and triglycerides.

Moderate use of alcohol has been linked with higher levels of HDL cholesterol. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women of all ages and men older than age 65, and up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and younger.

However, if you don't drink, don't start drinking to raise your HDL cholesterol levels. Too much alcohol can cause weight gain, and might increase your blood pressure and triglyceride levels.

Medications can boost or lower HDL cholesterol

 

HDL levels are sometimes improved by drugs used to lower LDL and triglyceride levels — such as prescription niacin; fibrates such as gemfibrozil (Lopid); and certain statins, particularly simvastatin (Zocor) and rosuvastatin (Crestor).

But clinical trials for several drugs specifically designed to increase HDL levels were halted early because they didn't reduce the risk of heart attacks.

 

Drugs containing testosterone and other anabolic steroids can lower your HDL cholesterol levels. Avoiding these drugs may help increase your HDL numbers.Bing Videos Do you have low HDL?

How to Raise HDL Cholesterol NATURALLY! (3 EASY STEPS)

I've recently gotten blood work done through Labcorp, and the only thing was my HDL being low. I used the calculator in this video for HDL/TG and am at 1.8.

 

I've seen quite a lot about taking a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil every day can help raise HDL, and somewhat quickly. I was actually surprised my results weren't horrible as I do eat very poorly.

 

So I've started doing a tablespoon of olive oil and taking krill oil every day. Hopefully this is a good step to increasing my HDL and I will slowly start to remove the junk food.

From my research, a very important ratio is Triglycerides / HDL. You want Triglycerides down and HDL up. Ratio should be 2 or lower. Great video btw. The labeling is definitely simplistic. We need cholesterol. Oh, ok, you just said what i was saying. So it should be 1.9 or lower. I want my HDL to go up because it is always a little low. I did get my triglycerides down a lot because i started eating a cleaner diet (less processed foods) and do move around more than in past. Takes some time to change diet and to become more active. You have to plan meals and also make room for exercise.

Hello! I know I’m quite late to the game, but I started mainly a carnivore diet to help alleviate my eczema. I got my test results in, and it’s Cholesterol,total: 289 mg/dl, HDL: 55 mg/dl, LDL is 225, while my trig 46 mg/dl. It just stinks because I’m still so anxious, and I think I have no reason to be. I guess it’s because it goes against the norms of what is considered “healthy.”

I like your channel so I subscribed. I’m confused on Dave Feldman’s graph you presented. You stated that the more saturated fat he ate the higher his HDL was. But the graph shows that it was his LDL-C that was lowered. Also I believe I may be a hyper responder(not lean mass) since after being on a low carb diet for several months, my cholesterol and LDL-C is through the roof.

my hdl is 135, but my ldl and total cholesterol are also darn high. Doing carnivore seems increase my tri. too (from 54 to 95)...any idea why? p.s I do LOVE saturated fat...usually just eat raw beef suet and almost raw liver.

8:39 the best way to test insulin resistance is HOMA IR. Since blood triglycerides can spike temporarily after exercising(especially you're fat adapted) and ingesting large amount of fat(combination with carbs furtherly exaggerates this effect), but it's perfectly normal.

 

After a 2 hour boxing session the night before and eating a big fatty OMAD with half a litre goat milk(finished around 8:30pm) after that. Next day around 9am I had the blood test. My triglyceride was over 3mmol and I have a total cholesterol of 5.32 mmol, both LDL and HDL are high.

 

At the same time I had a fasting glucose of 4.26 mmol and fasting insulin of 7.62 miu/l and perfectly normal hgA1c. which means I'm totally insulin sensitive. This might also due to mistakes in measuring or calculation process
