How To Increase Hdl Cholesterol

In this video Dr Ellie Cannon gives you some tips on how to increase your hdl cholesterol, that's 'good cholesterol' to you and me!

Exercise brings down your total cholesterol, whilst increasing the proportion of hdl in your blood.
Avoid foods containing saturated fats, such as butter, as they can increase your ldl cholesterol. Replace these foods with those containing un-saturated fats such as olive oil.
Drink drinks which contain a cholesterol reducing substance called plant sterols, such as Actimel and Benecol.
