How does one raise HDL cholesterol?

My doctor recently told me that my overall and LDL cholesterol are good, but my HDL is low. What's the best way to raise HDL?

HDL (good cholesterol) can be raised by exercise and by Niacin, the problem with niacin is that the doses needed ussually have a side effect called "flushing" that can make you feel like burning inside.
the good thing is that you can take some benadryl and ibuprofen to try to avoid some of the side effects.
talk to your doctor
