low HDL & high eosinophils

[dandate2]

I just got my blood test back and it turns out i'm low in HDL cholesterol 0.72 mmo1/L (recommended range: 0.9 - 1.55), and my eosinophils are through the roof at 18% of my blood (recommended: 0-3%). What does it all mean? What should I do?

"An absolute eosinophil count is a blood test that measures the number of white blood cells called eosinophils. Eosinophils become active when you have certain allergic diseases, infections, and other medical conditions."

i feel just fine though.

however, the blood test was taken at the end of a long stomach ache and constipation, could that be why?

do i need to do something about my HDL?

Always?
Never any complaints?

These could be symptoms of something else.

do i need to do something about my HDL?

What do you eat on average?

[dandate2]

i eat way more raw beef than fish or egg yolks. other than that just various fruits.

You could try eating at least one egg yolk daily.
No health concerns?

As far as I know that HDL value (a value for a transporter unit, which transports fats and cholesterol) is arbitrary, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Nevertheless it can't hurt to eat some (more) egg yolks, as RRM suggests.

Eating more fish will also be a smart move. http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/omega-3-000316.htm

Since we evolved on a diet high in omega 3s it would be good to make sure your omega 3 : omega 6 isn't too much out of whack by ingesting too much not grass fed beef and olive oil as opposed to fish.
