Obviously you can take drugs that increase the HDL levels like niacin. That can increase HDL cholesterol up to 33%.



I do not personally like any of the FDA approved drugs and medication. The reason is, they always have some cholesterol medicine side effects that will harm your body.

For example: Pfizer's Torcetrapib that was supposed to raise HDL cholesterol levels was taken of the market. You know why? Simple. Many people had big cholesterol drug side effects.

Fortunately there are more natural ways to raise HDL cholesterol levels.

The most effective and safest way is to change eating habits and lifestyle.

Easier said that done, right?

In that case I am going to ask you a question. "How much is your health and well-being important to you?"

If you are like me, I always find ways for improvement. I guess I love myself very much - and you should love yourself also.
