foods to increase HDL

[lucylocket61]

I saw this on an old thread:

increase my levels of HDL .....by increasing beans, pulses, lentils and seeds.

is this correct information? I mean, beans pulses and lentils are higher in carbs than i would cope with, and I cant eat seeds or nuts. Are there other foods to increase my HDL?

A quick Google comes up with this article, it mention all of the things you have, but also olive oil, fish, avocado, soy and red wine:

I have had this article marked for quite a while (it dates back to 2017) because of the references it offers

also olive oil, fish, avocado, soy and red wine:

Mine went to circa 2.5 when I increased Kippers and Salmon.

I expect it has more to do with what someone does not eat, along with losing excess body fat and building muscles.
