Exercise, good diet.: High cholesterol needs to be lowered. This can be done with lifestyle, and with meds. It is better if meds can be avoided. Cholesterol can be lowered by activity like exercise, and an active lifestyle. A balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can also help by increasing fiber in the diet. These things raise hdl, lower LDL and triglycerides, and lower total cholesterol.
