A recent study found that higher levels of HDL, also known
as the “good” cholesterol, are associated with fewer aortic (heart) aneurysms
and may help protect women from this condition, which results in the death of
13,000 Americans a year. Increasing HDL levels can improve your life in more ways
than one. Exercise, stopping smoking, getting your body mass index (BMI) below
25, and eating monounsaturated fats, which are found in foods like salmon,
walnuts, avocados, sardines, olives and olive oil are all ways to raise your
HDL cholesterol.
