Diet and exercise,,: Your total cholesterol is not very high, the triglycerides can be lower, and the LDL is important to get low like below 100. However your HDL is high at 56 and that's good as it helps offset the ldl/bad cholesterol. Your goals should be to get the total below 200 and the LDL below 100. The triglycerides should be under 150. Diet ; exercise should help or you can see your dr. For a statin med.
