Saturated fats contribute to the development of hyperlipidemia. Removing the skin from meat will reduce saturated fat content. Limit red meats and choose lean meats (turkey, chicken). Instruct the client on practical methods of exercise for 30 minutes most days of the week to increase HDL-C. Low-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt all contain low saturated fat content.
