High cholestrol: Reasons for your high cholestrol(total) is that you could have not been fasting at the time your blood was drawn, eating too much fat in your diet, or pure inheritance. Talk with your doctor for the best therapy.

Body Fat, Food, etc.: Cholesterol is a fat made by every body cell, more fat cells >> higher production. High sugar/carb foods are converted to fat and drives increased body visceral fat. See: nusi.Org. Cholesterol not best test. Ldl & HDL are lipoproteins, i.e. Protein particles which carry all fats in the water outside cells. Ldl is always in nmol/l, best <700, HDL in µmol/l, best large-hdl >10 see NMR particle test.
