HDL

We had a "biometric screening" available to us at the office today.  Height, weight, waste measurement, blood pressure, and cholesterol.  Took about ten minutes.

All good except my HDL number, which I guess is the "good" cholesterol, was a bit low.  While not extremely low, it wasn't as high as I guess it could/should be.  When I ask how I might get that number up, aerobic exercise was the answer.  Diet to some extent, but mainly aerobic exercise. 

Interesting, I'll have to look into it.

I read something in a magazine today that said apple juice is supposed to raise your good cholesterol. No mention of how or why. Just a thought...
