What's New?

Need to increase my HDL!

I just got this year's physical back and thought I'd post up a few results for feedback/comments:

Total Cholesterol is fine: 159 (<200)

My HDL is below range: 39 (>40) I need to boost this

My LDL is in range: 110 (<130)

My triglycerides are fine: 75 (<150)


My HDL/LDL ratio is pretty bad. Should I add more EVOO, Coconut oil, and maybe niacin to my diet? Any suggestions?

Also my Urea Nitrogen is at top of range: 25 (7-25) - anything I should do for this?

Thanks in advance guys/gals

You're fine.

A gram of niacin a day helped boost my HDL a bit.

Do you take fish oils?
I take 16 per day, they have been proven to aid in cholesterol maintenance.

niacin, fish oil, citrus bergamot, all help a little. Usually lower hdl is either genetic, diet, or AAS related.
