Fatty Fish
Research papers also noted that fatty fish boost the amount of large-particle good cholesterol. According to reports(3), large-particle HDL can potentially protect us from cardiovascular diseases.
Experts recommend at least 2 servings of fatty fish weekly; in the study, those who consumed fatty fish 3 to 4 times a week had higher large-particle HDLs than less frequent eaters. Examples of fatty fish are salmon, trout, and herring.
Final Reminders
Good cholesterol foods include avocado, B3-rich foods, foods high in antioxidants, and fatty fish. However, please remember that more than increasing your levels of HDL, you also have to take note of your LDL levels. For many doctors, what’s important is improving the ratio of HDL and LDL.
Boosting good cholesterol levels can also be achieved through staying active, keeping a healthy weight, avoiding cigarettes, limiting alcohol, and, of course, having a healthy, balanced diet.
