I went to the doctor today. He gave me my blood test results. Everything seems to be fine except my (good) cholesterol part. He said my cholesterol is 0.75 when it should be at least 1.25. He told me to exercise, drink red wine, or eat foods with Omega 3 like codfish/salmon/etc.
Anymore ideas for me to make it higher?

low levels of cholesterol may indicate:
hyperthyroidism, or an overactive thyroid gland
liver disease
malabsorption
inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestines
malnutrition
Eating more magnesium rich foods has been shown to helps to raise good cholesterol levels, as well as lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar levels and lower blood fats.

My husband's total cholesterol was only 125. He now eats two eggs per day and his cholesterol is 150. Low cholesterol can cause depression and it is also linked with a bleeding stroke. It is hard to find information about low cholesterol on the internet.

HDL and LDL are NOT cholesterol.
And neither one is good or bad.
THEY ARE both IMPORTANT.
THE CHOLESTEROL THING IS A CON
