I was recently told i had high cholesterol (271). i have 2 small kids so i don't have much time for anything. what are some easy ways to lower it?

Rx: This level (if correct) at your age will almost certainly require a statin. I appreciate your candor about not having the time, and perhaps not the emotional energy, to follow a "supposed to" regimen of aerobic fitness. Do watch what you eat, manage your cholesterol for your kids' sake (it's mostly heredity), try to find a fitness activity you can enjoy with your schedule, and good luck.
