Control risk factors: Everyone should aim to tackle lifestyle risk factors. This means to: Stop smoking if you smoke. Eat a healthy diet. Keep your salt intake to under 6 g a day. Keep your weight and waist in check. Take regular physical activity. Cut back if you drink a lot of alcohol. https://patient.info/health/cholesterol
