:Egg yolks and Cheese also have vitamin D. Not as much as fatty fish, but it can help.
also since I can't drink milk (because it makes me sick) I drink unsweetened coconut milk and that also has vitamin D.

Also, there is sunlight.

:Dude your more screwed than I, with 4.7 ratio, I am 4.3
You need to worry about Raising HDL and not lowering LDL. LDL is good to have in normal amount.
Consume olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil may be more healthful than processed olive oils. ...
Follow a low-carb or ketogenic diet. ...
Exercise regularly. ...
Stop smoking. ...
Lose weight. ...
Eat fatty fish often.
Avoid artificial trans fatsThat test was last year 5 weeks after I started my current exercise routine (6 days a week cardio kickboxing and strength training). I'll get another blood work panel at 1 year and see how things have changed.
Your listed diet has basically been my diet since July of 2018. I've never smoked - I'm an asthmatic - I hate smoking and smoke - don't really hate the smokers - but I do hate the fact that they smoke and pollute my air!
As for weight, I'm lighter and taller than you. 177.8 cm and 76.4 kg I've been machine measured at 12.5% body fat, and pitch tested at 11.4%.
The doc definitely said it's odd that my HDL is so low.. and the only suggestion he could make to fix it was drinking red wine. The oils were not mentioned.
I eat salmon 10-20 times a month (over lunch and dinners)... I'm pretty sure I'm getting covered there. That's been the case for more than a decade.

:My Vitamin D last test was 30 which is low, taking pills for it, my doctor suggested 50.000 IU weekly.
Your doctor made a suggestion of taking a lot of Vitamin D supplementation.
I'm just an IT guy, but I disagree with your doctor and here's why:

http://www.perfect-supplements.com/blog/16794/vitamin-d-the-good-the-bad-and-the-unknown/I won't say anything, only link references so this way I can't be attacked by you all over it.
But I will say that you are correct here:

:... exercise and sun
and diet of course.
Why would sun matter if you don't think he should get more Vit D, or at least shouldn't get more from supplements?
I'll clarify what I meant by my post:
His Vitamin D levels are low. His doctor tells him to take high Vitamin D supplementation. I disagree with this, and think he should instead get his Vitamin D from the sun (which actually doesn't take long if you read the articles and studies), as well as eat healthy, exercise, and sleep well.
This of course assumes he has a normal skin response. Also some people just don’t have time to spend say 30 mins daily outside in the noon sun.
I’m sure there are many other benefits to being in the sun other that Vit D, but the time can be a real issue. I know right now I’m not going to with it being 15 or lower all week
You obviously read zero of what I posted earlier... so meh.
If you read none of it, at least glance at this one.
Interesting. 10 mins 2-3 times a week, as long as you're wearing short sleeves and shorts (likely sans socks). I read that sun exposure pushes Vit D levels 90,000+ IU with regular exposure. I'm not saying we need that much.. clearly, Carter's little liver pills showed that 400 IU a day cured scruvy...

Btw I found out today Low HDL can be related
to
Diabetes or PreDiabetes
and Thyroid Glands issues.I did test for both today and pending results
-
Okay latest update,
I have very good diabetes test and this is not related to diabetes for me or thyroid gland.
However today I went to ENT doctor and i found i have many inflammation in the nose + throat but worse in nose, perhaps that is causing the issues, I have been waking up very tired for days straight , it was very cold in my room and i even started to sleep in the living room cause it is warmed more, and even then I would wake up at 4 AM , so apparently I might be not getting good sleep due to my nose, I will take 2 weeks of mediications and hopefully be able to sleep better soon and that might be the cause of brain fog and fatiuge, also bad sleep affects HDL and explains heart palpitations.
