Hello and welcome to HCM,
HDL can be increased by consuming food items rich in omega 3 fatty acids.
Omega 3 rich food items include walnut, flax seeds and fish meat.
You can take omega 3 supplements also in the dose of 2-3 gm per day.
Consumption of omega 3 rich food items should be accompanied by other life style modifications like regular exercise, high fiber diet, fresh fruits and vegetables.

Thanks and take care
