8 Tips to Boost HDL Cholesterol

Tip 5: Omega-3s May Help Cholesterol

Polyunsaturated fats include omega-3 fatty acids found in cold-water fish, such as salmon, tuna, and sardines. Like monounsaturated fats, omega-3s can have a positive effect on HDL.

If you want omega-3 benefits without the fish, check out these products:

• Orange juice fortified with omega-3s
• Milk fortified with omega-3s
• Yogurt fortified with omega-3s
• Vegetable oil spreads fortified with omega-3s
• Soy products, such as tofu or soy milk
• Fish oil supplements
• Flaxseed
