Brief Answer:
Total cholestrol and LDL are within normal range, HDL is slightly low

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

The lipid profile values mentioned by you are within range.
Total cholesterol of 90 mg/dL (normal range < 200 mg/dL), LDL of 50 mg/dL (normal range < 150 mg/dL) are within the normal biological range.
HDL of 33 mg/dL (normal range > 40 mg/dL) is slightly low.
HDL can be increased by taking food items rich in omega 3 fatty acid like flaxseeds, salmon fish and almonds.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
