Abstract

Fuji Hideki*

Low HDL cholesterol levels have significant implications for cardiovascular health and overall well-being. In this article, we explore the factors contributing to low HDL cholesterol, its role in cardiovascular disease, and strategies for raising HDL cholesterol levels naturally. Lifestyle modifications, including regular exercise, adopting a healthy diet, weight management, smoking cessation, and managing chronic conditions, play a key role in improving HDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, medications may be prescribed in some cases. We also discuss emerging therapies, specific considerations for certain populations, and the importance of a holistic approach to cardiovascular health. By addressing low HDL cholesterol levels and optimizing cardiovascular well-being, individuals can reduce the risk of heart disease and lead healthier lives.
