Last weeks’ blog post gave some dietary tips on how to lower triglycerides. We now want to give a couple of ideas of how to raise HDL. According to an article published by Track Your Plaque, low HDL is the most common cause of heart disease (generally accompanied by small LDL particles). Higher levels of HDL can reduce the risk of heart disease as well as help decrease plaque.
So, how do we raise our HDL levels?
- Choose foods rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (raw nuts, olive oil, etc.)
- Select less sugar-raising foods
- Increase protein intake
- Exercise and weight loss (if you’re not within a healthy weight range.
- Fish oil—Omega-3 fatty acids can raise HDL, although it is much more effective for correcting lipoprotein abnormalities that accompany low HDL (small LDL, increased VLDL, etc—“bad” cholesterols)
- Chocolate—A Penn State University study showed that a combination of 22 grams of cocoa powder and 16 grams of dark chocolate per day raised HDL 4%. Don’t overdo the chocolate, of course. While it does have some good stuff it also has a good amount of saturated fat and sugar. Try to find dark chocolates that have cocoa or cocoa mass (not sugar) as the first ingredient
