Hi BJDemir,
HDL should be above 40 mg/dl and ideally greater than 60 mg/dl. I recommend you read this post - Tips on How to Raise Your HDL.
Here's a quick summary of the steps to raise HDL:
- Increase physical activity to at least 30 minutes 5 days/week.
- Replace saturated fats with healthy unsaturated fats.
- Add omega 3 fatty acids.
- Increase dietary fiber.
- Use alcohol within reason (if you don't drink, don't start!)
The article I refer you to above is one I wrote, where you'll receive more details on each of the above steps.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson, RD, LN
