Hai,
As your lipid profile seems to be under low risk.
I will suggest you diet and lifestyle:
Be hydrated.4- 5litres of water.
Add more fiber foods like leafy vegetables and fruits.
Add more millets in your daily food stuffs. add barley,lentils etc. add garlic in your food.
Avoid fried,junk,fatty foods.
Improve the quantity and quality of fats you eat .
use oils(unsaturated -like olive oil,sesame oil,corn oil) avoid frying.continue your work out.
Thank you
stay healthy
