Do you have low HDL cholesterol? Well, you’re not alone. I remember when my doctor told me my HDL cholesterol was alarmingly low, and I had no idea what that meant. I was terrified, thinking I was at an increased risk of heart disease. However, my doctor shared some natural ways to increase my HDL cholesterol, and I thought I would share them with you today.
Firstly, did you know that coconut oil is your friend? Yes, you read that right! Swap out your regular cooking oil for coconut oil, and you’ll see an increase in your HDL cholesterol. Coconut oil contains unique medium-chain triglycerides that can help increase HDL cholesterol levels. So, ditch your vegetable oils and switch to this delicious oil. Trust me; it’s worth it.
Secondly, have you heard of intermittent fasting? It’s not as complex as it sounds. Eating all your meals within a 12-hour (or even a smaller) window can help increase your HDL cholesterol and decrease triglycerides. You don’t have to be rigid about it, either. You can push your first meal back an hour or two, and that’s it. Simple, right?
Thirdly, are you moving enough? Walking after meals can help boost your HDL cholesterol, as studies have shown that walking daily has a positive impact. Additionally, if you spend a lot of time sitting, try to get up and walk for at least 30 minutes each day. A quick walk after meals can also help balance your blood sugar levels.
Lastly, the one thing you can do for your overall health is to quit smoking. Not only is smoking harmful to your lungs, but it also has a significant impact on your HDL cholesterol levels. Studies have shown that quitting smoking is associated with increased HDL concentrations, and the increase can happen within three weeks. So, if you’re looking for another reason to quit smoking, this is it.
In conclusion, don’t wait until it’s too late. Take control of your metabolic health by increasing your HDL cholesterol levels naturally. The best part is that it’s simple and requires no medication. Incorporate these tips into your routine and see how they positively impact your health. Oh, and before I forget, have fun while doing it!
