Do some self-directed learning!=)

1. Eat more nuts.
E.g. almonds, pecans, walnuts, pistachios
As long as it is not thumbs up or farmers' peanuts!

2. Exercising for 20 minutes a day increases your HDL by 2.5 points. according to research.
E.g. climb the stairs will be a good way instead of taking lift

3. Drink cranberry juice

4. Eat grapefruit

5. People who eat six or more small meals a day have 5 percent lower LDL cholesterol levels than those who eat one or two large meals. That's enough to shrink your risk of heart disease by 10 to 20 percent.

6. Eat oatmeal cookies.
