My cholesterol is at 229 what can i do apart from taking meds to make it normal?

Eat right, exercise: Avoid oily, greasy, fatty foods, on occasion of course, these are ok. Regular physical activity 45-50 minutes at least 5-7 days a week. Red Yeast Rice is a good natural supplement. Recheck level in about 6 months to a year.
