Hello and welcome to the forum. HDL or good cholesterol will increase as you want it to not only through diet but especially through exercise. Getting active is number one on the list and losing weight is number two for how to improve your HDL number. https://www.webmd.com/heart/how-to-boost-your-good-cholesterol. They also recommend choose 'better' fats in your diet, drink alcohol sparingly and to stop smoking if you do.

(1) lowered total cholesterol; (2) increased HDL cholesterol; (3) lowered triglycerides; and (4) lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure. However, as this study did not contain a control group, researchers can not be confident that the changes observed are due totally - or even partially - to the effects of the Spirulina Maxima as opposed to other confounding variables (i.e., history effects, maturation effects, demand characteristics).

Triglycerides 121; Total Cholesterol 176; HDL 72; LDL 80; and VLDL 24. My doctor raised my Zorcor to 80 mg per day as I was on 40mg. My ALT was 58 which is a concern. I don't know what I am doing wrong? Have a VAP and another lipid test scheduled in 3 months. It was suggested I take (Lovaza) fish oil also but I want to wait for the new Lipid test results. Presently I am on Plavix, Lopressor, Vasotec, 81 mg asprin and the Zocor. Please advise.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Thanks so much for your question. So, I'm very glad to read your total cholesterol dropped. That's good news. Triglycerides are a different lipid and that has risen indicates you have a bit of work to do. When total cholesterol is not affected but triglycerides rise, it's called hypertriglyceridemia. There are natural ways to try and combat this. Just like with your total cholesterol, your diet matters.
