How do i reduce my hdl cholesterol without statins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Raise HDL lower LDL: What will be most helpful to you is to get back into vigorous physical exercise. This will probably be more helpful than diet and may keep you from needing a statin. If you do need medication, don't refuse it. Much of your cholesterol and coronary risk are genetic, despit all the "pop" wisdom.
