Tc: 211 (>200) but hdl: 34(<40) only. please suggest diet to increase hdl but lower total cholesterol for the ratio to be lower than 4. thnx?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ways to raise HDL: I don't think a cholesterol of 211 is dangerous unless your LDL particles are small & dense (which requires further testing to determine) but it is wise to raise your hdl.
