Be glad: Health isn't a matter of having all your labs in the reference ranges. This is good news but keep up a healthy lifestyle regardless.

No, but raise HDL.: The best way to raise cardioprotective HDL is cardiovascular exercise. Shoot for forty or forty-five minutes daily. Supplementation with no-flush Niacin may help as well, 2000 to 3000mg daily in divided doses. Fish oil supplements may help this as well, as healthy fats can raise the HDL.
