Can Tuna-fish raise your HDL cholesterol levels?

I got my results from the doctor and she says that my HDL is to low and that my LDL is a little high. I'm 25 years old; does anyone have any suggestions on foods to eat, to raise and lower the respective types?

Here are my levels

HDL 38
LDL 132

CHOL 192

Being as young as you are, your doctor will most likely not put you on medication with cholesterol numbers like that...unless you have risk factors like diabetes or heart disease. They are only mildly abnormal. Tuna and other types of fish will lower the LDL and increase the HDL. However, the best way to get those results is regular exercise. If you eat fish 3 or more times per week and exercise, you should see an improvement in your cholesterol pannel.

All food from animal sources contain cholesterol. The foods to go with are fruits and vegetables.
Your numbers aren't high enough to go vegan. Just try to eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise more, and monitor your condition. If you can't improve the ratio, your Dr may put you on some statins (like Zocor, Crestor, Lipitor, or Vytorin) The statins will reduce your LDL level. A drug to raise your HDL is Niaspan. Which is a slow release Niacin tablet. Go with the diet and exercise before the meds.
