Question: What is to be done when the levels of high density lipoprotein good cholesterol and bad cholesterol are low?
Brief Answer:
Exercise.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
Low HDL cholesterol is due to lack of exercise, but the good thing is, your bad cholesterol is not high. That means your activities are mostly fine. Just add a little bit of playing outdoor games or jogging for 15 to 20 minutes a day to your routine and you will be able to increase the HDL cholesterol levels and decrease the LDL and VLDL (the bad cholesterol) even further.
Wishing you good health.
Warm regards
Exercise.
