HDL The Good: Hdl can be raised naturally with two changes in lifestyle. One is a regular moderate (hr of 120 to 130 bpm) exercise program lasting at least 30 minute five times/week. And, changing the ratios of calories in your diet: high protein and low carb. Total protein calories should make up 60% of the total calories you consume.
