Dr. oz, what foods are best for raising hdl or good cholesterol. my dads level is at 30 and it should be at 40 sandy in marshfield?

Cranberry juice has been shown to increase HDL levels. Fish (eating salmon, mackerel or other fish from icy waters) and other foods containing omega-3 fatty acids can also increase HDL levels. Calcium supplementation can increase HDL levels.

Increase the monounsaturated fats in the diet. Monounsaturated fats such as canola oil, avocado oil, or olive oil and in the fats found in peanut butter can increase HDL cholesterol levels without increasing the total cholesterol. Add soluble fiber to the diet.

Soluble fibers are found in oats, fruits, vegetables, and legumes, and result in both a reduction in LDL cholesterol and an increase HDL cholesterol. http://heartdisease.about.com/cs/cholesterol/a/raiseHDL.htm.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
