How could increase hdl cholesterol level in blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to do: Hi. Unfortunately, unlike LDL, which is easy to treat, there isn't much you can do for HDL. Exercise and red wine correlate with higher HDL. The drugs with the most HDL-raising effects are fenofibrate and Niaspan (niacin). Good luck!
