∙ 12y agoHigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or HDL, is often called "good cholesterol." When HDL cholesterol levels are higher than levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein), a person's risk of developing Heart disease is reduced. HDL takes excess cholesterol deposits in your blood to the liver, where they are broken down and disposed of. Both men and women should have an HDL level of about 60mg/dL or above. You can increase your HDL levels by getting more aerobic exercise, quitting smoking or avoiding exposure to secondhand smoke, and improving your diet.
