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.
