Dr. Liu Aifen
Low HDL cholesterol levels can be improved by consuming foods such as shiitake mushrooms, other edible mushrooms, seaweed, legumes, and sesame seeds. However, patients should undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation at a hospital to determine the underlying cause. Based on the specific test results, appropriate treatment measures can then be implemented to facilitate recovery. Additionally, maintaining a positive and relaxed mindset, along with a nutrient-rich diet, is beneficial for disease recovery.
