Red wine
A moderate amount of red wine may significantly improve your HDL cholesterol levels, according to studies. However, this is not because alcoholic beverages improve your cholesterol. It is because red wine is made out of grapes, which contain a lot of phytonutrients with many healthy properties. Keep in mind this works only in moderate amounts, and if you drink over that threshold, you will likely end up with a fatty liver disease, and other health problems.
