What Can Patients do to change the levels of LDL and HDL in their blood?

To alter the levels of HDL and LDL in your blood, the main thing you want to do is change up your diet. That means limiting your meat intake. It does not have to be that extreme where you never eat meat, you just have to watch what your eating. If you're eating hamburgers for lunch, try some unsaturated fat foods like nuts, seeds, or fish. It's these little changes that will slowly but surely make your HDL levels rise and LDL levels lower. Although it is important to know although one fat is better than the other, that does not mean you should have super high levels of HDL in your blood. Everything is better in moderation.
