Maybe: you want to continue your healthy lifestyle, your HDL is very good, your LDL is bit high, if stays on that level, you might benefit from a low dose statin, some scientific authorities are recommending LDL levels below 100 or even 70 to protect your coronaries, wish you wellness

Check with your PCP.: Statins meds are usually much more successful, and they work.
