Diet and exercise: Eat a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and adequate amounts of protein. Exercise 150 minutes per week by running, walking quickly, cycling, swimming or aerobics. Stop smoking if you smoke. Achieve a healthy weight for your height. If these do not lower your cholesterol to acceptable ranges, consult your physician for the possibility of cholesterol lowering medications.

Need more info: What is your cholesterol level and what the levels of other lipids? What risk factors you have, like hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity, family history? See your doctor about advice regarding diet and exercise and to ascertain if you need medication.
