Raise HDL: Unfortunately it is difficult to raise HDL (good cholesterol) on your own. More regular exercise and a glass of red wine daily has been shown to help but ultimately with a level of 27 you might need medications to help improve level. Talk to your primary doctor about options moving forward.
