A member asked:

My ldls were 129, how long does it take to bring them to normal levels? ldl

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is normal: If you do not have other risk factors, and LDL of less than 130 is normal. Get regular exercise, reduce your intake of saturated fats. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
