Yes: Start by changing your diet to a diet rich in vegetables and fish. Niacin is a useful measure. Excercise by walking at leat 30 minutes 5 times per week. Repeat your cholesterol.

Niacin.: Supplementing with 2000-3000mg of flush free Niacin daily can help to control your cholesterol levels quite nicely, even increasing your HDL and converting your LDL to a less harmful subtype. As a negative, Niacin can cause facial flushing and redness so get the flush free variety. And have your liver enzyme values monitored, as they can be affected by Niacin use.
