Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if it's possible to raise an HDL level?. His
doctor said he should take lipitor to change the ratio of LDL to HDL,
but told him there's no way to raise HDL. He has been told
that HDL is totally genetic (and his father died of a heart attack at
age 51). Any thoughts?

Absolutely you can raise HDL levels.  LDL are lowered with aerobics and HDL are raised with lifing weights, lunges and squats.  Great stuff!!!  Oliva
