You can improve on your lipid profile without medication at present if you focus on your eating pattern and do some regular physical activity along. HDL (Good cholesterol) improves with good and regular exercise which can be as simple as brisk walk for 45 minutes For improving triglyceride levels ,focus on higher protein intake, lower fat and restrict carbohydrates to complex ones only.
