Nuts, such as almonds, pistachios, and walnuts, peanuts contain high amounts of unsaturated fat or ?good? fats, which increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL). U can do the following-- Stop smoking (if you smoke). Smoking lowers your HDL, (?good?) cholesterol level. Change the way you Eat. Low-fat, low-cholesterol eating benefits all your lipid levels. Lose weight if necessary. Maintain healthy lifestyle Start exercising. For more details you can consult me.
