Lipid Panels: Diet, nutrition, exercise, omega 3 and other supplements are helpful. Check your HDL which is another important component of your lipid panel. Sometimes you may need a prescription.

Doubtful.: Generally, even the best diet and exercise regimen will lower your LDL no more than 25%, which will not bring you to your goal. You will likely need medications to get your number to goal.
