Diet, exercise, drug: Diet and exercise play important roles in managing your lipids. Medication is another important aspect. Talk to your doctor.

NiacinStatinFoodFat: Niacin has best track record for increasing hdl, statins + cholesterol absorption inhibitors best for ldl. Food, low sugar/carb, reducing visceral body fat & aggressive exercise also very helpful. See: nusi.Org. Ldl is always in nmol/l, best <700, HDL in µmol/l, best >10. See NMR lipoprofile. (cholesterol is a fat molecule made by every cell & promoted for low test price but is not correct issue.).
