What Can I Do if my HDL Cholesterol Level Is Low? If your HDL is low, you can take several steps to boost your HDL level and reduce your heart disease risk: Exercise. Aerobic exercise for 30 to 60 minutes on most days of the week can help pump up HDL. Quit smoking. Tobacco smoke lowers HDL, and quitting can increase HDL levels. Keep a healthy weight.
Fatty fish, nuts and other foods with omega-3 fatty acids boost HDL cholesterol levels, as does cooking with olive, canola or peanut oil. All of those oils contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which increase the good form of cholesterol in proportion to the bad type, or LDL cholesterol, notes Mayo Clinic.
