Cholesterol: I assume you refer to increased cholesterol, need more specifics on how high is the cholesterol to advise whether you need medication or diet modification would be necessary.

Diet and medication: Depending on how high cholesterol, you may need medication.Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco in any form and do not take any more than one drink a day.
