I had my blood test in September and got my HDL 37 and LDL 112. Is this OK? If not, how can I increase my HDL level naturally?

Your HDL is 37, which is slightly below the ideal range, while your LDL is 112, which is acceptable but could be lower. To boost HDL naturally, focus on regular exercise, healthy fats (nuts, seeds, olive oil), and cutting back on sugar and refined carbs. If you smoke, quitting also helps improve HDL. Recheck your lipid profile in 3 to 6 months to track progress.
