Exercise is a very good way to increase good cholesterol. If he's not exercising regularly, I would suggest he start. Being thin is not necessarily enough to be healthy in the long term. Exercise is key for a number of reasons.

Also, triglycerides factor into the total cholesterol number, too. It's not just HDL and LDL.
