Hypolipidemia (Low cholesterol) is defined as a total cholesterol less than 120 mg/dL or LDL less than 50 mg/dL. In your case, LDL cholesterol is not low. But your HDL cholesterol is very low. Medium HDL cholesterol level is 40 mg/dL.

Certain changes in diet and exercise may have a positive impact on raising HDL levels:

Decreased intake of simple carbohydrates.

Aerobic exercise

Weight loss

Magnesium supplements raise HDL-C.

Addition of soluble fiber to diet

Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids such as fish oil or flax oil

Consumption of pistachio nuts.

Increased intake of cis-unsaturated fats

Consumption of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) such as caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, and lauric acid.

Removal of trans fatty acids from the diet

Avoid cigarette smoking.

Even low ldl level below 80 is not advisable. Low ldl levels impair the immune responses.
